TABI HKS(Taiwan Ayam Bran Imitation)
Mechanism: Analog direct reaction dial gauge
Lighting: None LED conventional light bulb with blue filter(so it project white light)
Price: was RM55 back in 2009. Yesterday saw RM85, can further nego if bulk order
Reliability: 2 years+ since my IswaGa/Gancil/WiGa, later added water temp to standby when stock meter malfunction, this 1 will hookup
Reason:
Advantage:
1) More immediate response to actual vacuum. Needle jump around(noise) automatically filtered.
2) Measuring machine is INSIDE the gauge, well protected from engine heat
3) This is the only smoke gauge produce by cap ayam, the rest are very expansive such as AUTOGAUGE
4) This is the only vacuum meter came with precise INCH/Centimeter mercury reading that I can understand well.
5) Gauge holder = FREE!!!!
6) Conventional light bulb no frequency, good for eyes
Disadvantage:
1) Not as accurate as digital mechanism gauges, such as Defi. For hardcore tuner, they need every single precise reading(I'm not that type)
2) ...... its not a disadvantage, its a good thing to avoid from high heat
3) Analog dial gauge is very boring and old school. Nowadays smoke gauge is very cheap and most convert to digital reading. Defi is a good brand, those who interested may consult V12k as he's using Defi. I guess price is almost the same even if its digital mechanism.
4) Nowadays people read PSI/Bar. Reading PSI/Bar can easily adjust yourself to read BOOST meter when you go force induction(which I not planned to)
5) I'm not sure other gauges come with the holder or not
6) Blue filter after using 2year+ color gone, now you can see the vacuum gauge color more yellow compare to my water temperature LED looks forever young
Depends whether you want or not. If want hensem abit, please prepare to invest a little bit more in the future. I certainly dun like to stick doublesided tape on the gauge holder pastu biar dia diri di atas dashboard... macam mat rempit.... I got a custom made pillar gauge holder that cost a bomb! May be can ask SiuYi whether got this type of stuff at a cheaper price. Anyway, for now is only testing, so no need to rush for all those conclusion. If it work, then only decide whether wanna further decorate your car or biar meter diri atas dashboard macam mat rempit. If not, we'll have to sell it off for those who can use.

Hang duduk kat Lukut kan? My relative stay there la tu budak² maen LANCER A174 yang berSR20 punya mat rempit.
