I've heard that some boost gauges start buzzing when reading boost. I know that would bug the $h!t outa me! Anyone have any experience with either of these before I buy?

Trying to decide between these two boost gauges:
(Trying to go cheap)
Sunpro - $28
http://www.sunpro.com/product_detail.php?pid=16373

Prosport - $38
http://prosportgauges.com/52mm-boost-gauge.aspx


The Sunpro seems REALLY cheezy (more cheezy than the Prosport).
I'm leaning towards the Prosport because it can light up amber or white - it'll go nice with my dash ...

Would one of these help?

my buddy has the prosport and i was in the car with him a couple times the only thing thats annoying is the opening ceremony it buzz's really loud twice .Other than that no no buzzing (that i know of).

P.S. he has the prosport prak boost recall.

From what read, the one with the boost recall is the electrical not mechanical, BUT maybe I'm better going THAT route. hmmmm.

Was it a bitch? I assume they are all SMDs right?

Not in my opinion. I had a thread about it, but the forum mods deleted it because I offered to do the mod for people for $. Do a search though... You should find all the info you need. Yes, they're SMD's.

This is helpful if you have sharp turns or tight clearance behind the gauge that could kink the tubing. Keep in mind the Mechanical boost does not perform the opening ceremony.

After reading this, I think going for an electrical gauge even though I'd prefer not to have the start up sequence. It's a a no brainier for ease of installation and I wouldn't have to worry about buzzing. Their electrical gauge with a clear lens sells for $55 + shipping.

Placed my order today for the proline model # 216CLWAEBO270PSI.
They responded to my emails rite away. I'll post up some install info and a review with pics when I get it in.
