I've never heard of a Electrical gauge going bad in my life (I'm sure it's happened but I haven't heard of it) but I've heard about bad Mechanical boost gauges all the time. It's just my perference to have Electrical. In my case I need to know that the gauge isn't lieing 100% of the time. Mechanical gauges just aren't as good. ... There is just too many things that can happen with Mechanical gauges. If this breaks, that gauge is ****ed. If that breaks, this gauge is ****ed. Electrical is accurate all the time. If your not getting oil pressure the Electrical gauge will tell ya. If your lines break/get damaged your Mechanical oil pressure gauge will be inaccurate. They do break folks.

Hmm, you can say the same for the opposite.

OEM O2 sensor are not accurate enough to tell you your air/fuel ratio on the fly. Wide band O2 are. Those guages are a light show only.
As you said toykilla, for YOU that is your choice. But the guy asking the question, that might not be, hence he is asking the proffesionals that have true experience.
The personal attacks and insults are just immature and bull****. Do f-body drivers actually treat other f-drivers in this mannor? It's not like I was talking out my ***. I was just making comments and points that lean towards mechanical gauges over electrical. Stuff like the above makes me think it's directed at me personally because I choose to drive an import.

Some people can actually take joke, I guess you are not one of them. We gotta walk on egg shels with you, so you don't get offended. Having said that, you quoted me correct, correct becuase you cannot show me where I personally attacked you? I did not, I said as you quoted. I was/am attacking your false comments and assumptions that mech. guages "never" break and elec. will "always" break. Hence why I posted that hypothetical version of you "story" (notice the winky, it's means it's not an attack .... IT'S A JOKE ). We all agree that mech. are more accurate then Elec., that is not the arguement. But you can't seem to get pasted that. We are saying elec. is sometimes better because the reduced risk over mech.'s. I could turn this around on you and say that you are being a stereotypical (type casting us F-body owners based on one person) import owner, but I won't because that is not the point to this guy's thread. Don't take things personal, unless someone specifically quotes you and/or says "toykilla, you're a ...". In closing, keep it to the topic at hand and don't argue with people, just give your opinions without bearing false testimonials.
