Was that a serious comment?
Yes, I was very serious. I have a innovate DL32 module that measures signal from sensors. I plugged it into the stock map sensor to monitor boost. I am amazed how fast responding it is compared to my mechanical gauge that has to wait until pressure rises in a tiny little tubing. The pressure sensor is in the engine bay, so there is minimal tubing, hence minimal gauge lag. That is my experience with electric boost gauges. I never meant the slow stock electrical one.
Weird.
Not to argue or anything, but the tubing would pressurize at the same rate as your intake manifold. I would be willing to bet that what you're seeing is more a function of dampening than anything.
I have a mechanical on my Miata and it's ridiculously fast. I can watch it fluctuate on bumps in the road that cause my foot to barely move on the gas pedal. On the same topic, the mechanical in my MX6 is pretty slow. I blame the gauge, not the tubing. The miata has an Autometer made for Flyin' Miata. The MX6 has a Prosport.
I may be old school, but i subscribe to the thought of "unless you live in CA, there's no reason to have an electronic gauge.*"
*for display purposes only. If you've got some fancy electronic feeding both a display and an EMS, then that's fine. Clean way to install.
