yeah my needle on my gauge fell off of the post, now its just laying at the bottom of my gauge. is there anyway to get the cover off to fix it or should i send it to autometer? this is the way my whole week has gone sucks

i would go to the place that you bought it at (hopefully you kept the reciept, but even if not...) and see what they said. if you didn't fuck with it and it just fell off i would say that you deserve a new gauge. i am sure autometer won't have a problem replacing it, but it should be easier to have a shop get ahold of them.

is the gauge really old or something?

I bought the thing used but its basicly new, i'll email autometer

email autometer, they'll tell you where to send it. I had a leaky gauge and asked about it, they said they'd fix it.

On a related note, my SPI boost gauge needle froze.
I sent it back to SPI under warranty 4 months ago and haven't gotten it back yet. The phone and fax # are out of service.
I recommend not buying an SPI gauge. Hopefully you will have better luck with autometer replacing the unit/fixing it.
Good Luck. If it is out of warranty, maybe you can open it up
and superglue the needle back onto the fulcrum.

Just a few weeks ago somebody was telling me all boost guages are the same...

I had to send my SPI back to MachV and they said that was not the 1st SPI they got back. My needle was also sticking and stuff. They where really good to me and orderd a VDO and sold it to me for less than what I paid for the SPI. And it still is working great after a year. Just some FYI for ya.

i bought my gauges used, and the boost gauge needle fell off. i just pried the rim off with a screwdriver, put the needle back on, and put the rim back on...then pushed it down with the screwdriver. works fine.

I sure as hell hope the VDO boost gauge was cheaper than the SPI. The SPI's sold for approx $140, and a VDO Vision series boost gauge costs approx $45.

Boost gauges are only like $50..Buy a new one...
