Defi D-Gauge V. OEM Boost Gauge

I need to get a boost gauge and narrowed to Defi's new D-Gauge and the OEM unit . Pros v. Cons? Also, is the OEM unit mechanical or electrical. Also, where is a good place to get gauges online (or in DFW, Tx). Thanks.

The OEM reads boost in bars and Defi's i think you can get to read in either bars or PSIs. The oem ones are mechanical so are the Defi's D guage series.

The oem gauge actually reads in mpa or megapascals. I would suggest finding a gauge that reads in psi b/c it is easier than converting in your head.

0.1 mpa=1 bar=14.5psi
