bootm line is it need be calibrated after install. the variations in folks wiring ability voltaghe supply in the car, etc... amke it impartive that you confirm calibration if you want to be accurate.
No I dont trust they gages right out of the box. You need to test the gage as it is set up to run. with the wires hooked up as you run in the car, with the same 12 volt power supply as in the car. that is the only way to be sure. get a known good standard that you trust, and campair it to teh gage you have installed. take readings both hot and cold and inbetween (oft the gages are NOT linear reading) test and test and test again. |
