No they are not a ball bearing turbo either. Just a rather large turbo that is capable of withstanding way more than the stock one. They give pretty high boost numbers with the right amount of fuel.
What is wrong with a mechanical boost gauge? I have two and have no problems. It is like having a direct link to the engine.

Never thought of using coper tubing, thats pretty neat Idea Neal!
I personally like the EV2 setup though, its simple and practical. Sensor sends readings to gauge, gauge interprets. No room for error, which is what I like.
Mechanical gauges can eventually fail as far as I can tell. There has to be some sorta pressure system inside the gauge that reads the line pressure.
But electronic ones can do just the same, the sensor can fail.

Unless your measuring in Inches of Water, I think we are both at a loss on either end. =)
The mechanical one should respond a bit faster than the digital, but the digital IMO would be slightly more reliable.
So, it seems like a tie to me.
That would be funny though, getting in a truck with a tube of water. "WTF is that!?!?"
Dude, thats my boost gauge, I wanted accuracy.
