Thanks for the input guys. It looks as if I will be going with the mechanical 30/30 gauge. They are a third the cost of electrical plus from my research, I read that the mech's are more accurate and durable than the ele's. Case and point, the stock electric boost gauge (made by AutoMeter) in my wife's Cobalt SS got stuck on 15 InHg yesterday. From what I read this is a common occurrence with these particular gauges. It also slipped my mind that I will be going to a 2 bar map and os so I wont need the input into HPT from the sending unit as I was originally thinking.
