I have the autometer in-cab gauge in my s/c dak. For me it is useful,
because I will sometimes see the pressure dip a bit under WOT at high RPM.
It indicates that I'm going a bit lean at WOT. Also it doesn't rise as much
as it should in proportion to boost (same reason). A new pump will probably
solve it, but I'm not sure how the inline pumps really behave with respect
to each other (I really should replace or remove the tank pump).
Anyhow, accuracy is not an issue, it is certainly as accurate as the
rail-gauge I use. they are a bit pricey tho.
