Thinking of investing in a really good TP gauge, what do you use? ;)

Ive been told the PLATINUM PRO PRESSURE GUAGE is the dog's nuts - £138.00

I know what your saying but 9times out of 10 cheap pressure gauges actually don't read properly! I've got a 25quid job and borrowed a top end gauge and it was different! I know it's only track day'ing so but OTT but I've bought a dear one, comes in a lovely box tho so at least I will look fast! :supz:

it doesn't matter, as long as its is consistent.

you'd be better off getting a pyro gauge than a mega accurate pressure gauge

Just checked pressures - new gauge vs £20 old one = 1.5psi difference

I feel faster already :hahaha:

I was just at Manthey Porsche at the Ring and they recommended me to get a longacre, and I haven't looked back. Two digits and very precise.
