    Anyone ever heard of Swoosh gauges?

    im currently bidding on a Swoosh boost gauge on ebay.

    i've never heard of the brand, just wondered if anyone else has.

    tried a search on google and it comes up with lots of Australian/NZ forums chatting about them without any specific verdicts on the gauges. i cant even find the manufacturers website.

    any help greatly appreciated.


    cheers

    This is just my opinion but I would only use/trust top brand gauges for my car. Some cheaper/unproven ones have been known to over/under read by 1-2 psi. No point in having a gauge that looks all bling but gives inaccurate readings.

    The autometer gauge in my old car was spot on when they measured the boost on a dyno

    Sorry mate, long day and all that


    It just dose my head in that some people are more interested in how gauges look than how accurate they are

    its white, thats all that bothers me asthetically speaking.

    the google search shows up some interesting aussie and NZ performance site, skylines, gti-r's etc etc, but specific info about them
