spending over 400 on gauges is not called a rip-off. It's called paying for the reliability. You can spend 150 on these gauges to test if it works and report back here.
On a side note, stop bumping your threads, if people don't post in there, maybe its because they just don't feel like answering anymore of your outrageous questions. This thread is FAIL...not as epic as your other threads but fail nonetheless.

no need to bump the thread every thirty minutes

stewart warner gauges are by far the best inexpensive gauge solution...they even have a kit similar to the gruppe s set up

It's ok man, don't worry about the negativity. Spending $400 may be well worth it in the long run. Don't go for something cheap, since it can give you additional stress in the future.

i would go with the panel and put a set of pro sport gauges in it. they are good gauges. they can light up amber or white and the cost much less than some other big name brands out there. just google pro sport gauges for there site

You get what you pay for... Give them a shot and let us know, if they crap out or are a little innacurate you will have to pay either way but you won't know unless u try them.

I don't recommend pro sport gauges ever. I had a boost gauge from them and it wasn't accurate at all. I switched to aem gauges which are far more advanced and reliable and found that I had a small spike issue. Granted they are a lot more expensive they were well worth the money. I also have the gruppe-s panel and couldn't be happier with it.

you shoudn't depend on guages for data, IMO. You should spend as much or as little as you want to.

If you're after asthetics, pay more. If you're after data, spend less.

The reason people probably don't answer your posts is because you've had some real winners on here as far as threads go.


Again, hate to burst your bubble, but those gauges are junk...they're just there for the look. Same goes for the pro-sport ones, they're more looks than anything. Stewart Warner's are really good, I personally like Omori myself.

just thinking about a gauge that shows the temp of the car water being over 100$ , i dont see anything hard in making a gauge and making it accuarte,im going to buy this gauge and tell you guys how it is , a pipe for instends cost what 20$ the most,what they do is they bend it a little, lets say a 40$ filter they put on it and sell it more then 200$, but hey jus like someone said in here you have to pay alot to get the best
