boost gauge

hey got a quick question here. been lookin at these gauges and i want to know if they will fit in to this column pod mount. i really like these gauges but the pod mount is questionable. if it fits this pod then i might just get this one but if there are other pod mounts out there that would fit and look better id appreciate the help....thank in advance

Looks like it, the guages are 2 1/16 Inches as well as the pod. You should be ok with that setup.

Defi guages match pretty well, I think that's what most go with (including myself). There are lots of places to get them,
eguages.com
500whp.com
gruppe-s.com
lancershop.com

to name a few

Hey Krazirob,

I have those glowshift in my MR. Boost and the a/f. Just a heads up, They are impossible to see during the day. At night they rock. I just use my stock MR gauges during the day. If you have any ?s PM me. I am looking to get rid of mine if you are still dont mind the visibility.

You might wanna also look into the autometer nexus series. Very similar to that idea where you can change the colors but they're also linkable like defis and autometer is a more reputable company. Don thave any experience with the nexus series personally but it looks like you might like them. www.autometer.com

i got the defi amber boost gauge and all in all i like it alot. the fact that my lights have to been on for the gauge to light up is kinda screwed up but then again i can at least leave the parking lights on and they turn off automatically when the car turns off. and yeah another thing. the amber gauge isnt really amber, its closer to red and alot more red compared to the hud lights in the evo. tryin to keep everything the same color (except turbo time, gotta live with that blue light at night) even the xm radio is amber........lol

You have them installed wrong then.

The lights do not need to be on for the gauges to function properly.
Lights off- Full brightness
Lights on- Present to desired brightness (5 settings)

How accurate are these gauges? Have you ever compared the readings on the glowshift gauges versus your stock ones? I was looking at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-05...56838451QQrdZ1 and am considering buying them, but the low price makes me question the quality of these gauges.

um...are you sure you want to go with super cheap gauges? the problem with them is that they are most likely not accruate.
