[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

mechanical pros:

more accurate

less wiring (but still have to tap into oil / vacuum etc)

mechanical cons:

potential for oily mess inside cabin

larger fittings on back of gauges may make it hard to fit into tripod etc

Just keep clear of the super cheap digitals as they are inaccurate as well very slow response.

Mechanical are usually the best option but there is electrical that are as good if not better.

I'm running a PLX wideband setup that uses a 52mm monitor which can customize your own display or

use the default displays with whatever background picture you like.

The PLX Devices company are US based and they have won numerous awards for there design.

Features on my AFR are different displays, anologe, digital, graph with max and min values.

You can also setup warnings.

You can display 4 senors on it at one time.

They also do a OBD2 setup.

Have a look at there web site, which you can also purchase from.

Cant wait till my Oil Pressure arrives within this week.

Next I'm ordering a Boost setup.

I'm only using the 3 monitors as to fill the tripod, if I wanted to I could

just buy the required sensors and use the monitor.

When I purchased the AFR approx 2 years ago it cost me $500 which

was $160 odd cheaper than the Autometer cobalt.

I'm glad I purchased it as it craps all over the Autometer.
