plz help w/ gauges (boost/oil p)

[SSS281]

can someone tell me the difference between these

oil pressure:
first
second

boost:
first
second

thanks

The first oil pressure gauge is mechanical (even though it says electric.) You have to run the oil line right up to the gauge.. not practical for inside the car installs. The second one is the electric version which uses a sender.

The boost gauges, the first one measures boost and vacuum.. while the second one measures only boost, and not vacuum.

thank you!

as for the boost gauge, is there a better choice? ive only seen people using ones that read both vacuum and boost

if you like a gauge that moves alot, then get the one with vacuum in it. since you aren't in boost all the time.

Yea.. some people say it's nice to have the vacuum reading too to make sure something about the manifold pressure blah blah blah.. imho it's just to look cool
