Why are you being a wiener. lol - I have the megan racing boost gauge and it rocks! Looks like a Defi gauge and was worth the $35 I paid for it.

I agree. Have you ever seen like Defi or Greddy gauges etc. in any N.H.R.A. cars?

Prove that they lack quality and your point is valid, but search on these boards and you'll see 95% of people prasing their downpipes, catbacks, exhaust manifolds and o2 housings.

I'd save your "advise" and ADVISE you to keep it to yourself next time you talk out of your ***.

Perhaps, but do you see AutoMeter or Megan providing OE gauges / instrumentation to car manufacturers? Nippon Seiki is a huge OE supplier to the Japanese car industry... NS is the parent company of Defi. I would trust a company with the quality sufficient enough to pass muster with an OE than anyone else, especially cheap *** Chinese made bull****.

you probably work for megan racing or something... you praise all of there stuff.. none of there cars even go on the track.. and if they did, it was just a waste of there time... all of there stuff are all knock offs.. the only r&d they have is just to see if it fits... for them to get the thumbs up they have to prove it on the tracks!! shove that up your ***!!!

Wow you're getting really worked up over a product you've never even used. The cursing is really uncalled for. In fact, the more you post, the lower your credibability sinks, and it makes me actually want to buy more Megan Racing products just because people like you won't.

That's it, YOU work for Megan! Good job!

I wouldn't buy them simply based on the way they look... They don't look nice. It's something you see every day in and out, I'd rather get something pleasing to my eye.

They do track their cars. They have a pair of drift cars that tear it up at the tracks. That is way more abusive than track days. You need to stop bashing stuff you have no experience with.

I'm not saying Megan is good or bad, I'm saying stop BSing. If its so bad, show us some proof of your own experience.

I totally Agree with ZK,

What i've found is that import guys prefer the import guages wether it be to follow the JDM craze, to match the Cars interior, or Because they actually perform better i don't know. Just like you would never see DEFI or Greddy Guages in a old t-bucket, Hot rod or muscle car.

As far as the performance of a megan guage as long as i works does it matter who makes it? Many of you forget that alot of the companies don't design there own products they buy the right from the manufacturer, same reason that the megan coilovers are made in the same factory as the Apex-i's, and Exedy makes the Clutches for Cusco.

It's all about marketing and Profit.

does anyone know if the needle actually lights up on the megan gauges? Because in some pictures it looks like it doesnt. Also is the light white or blue?

The needle lights up (red) and the face is black with white markings that light up white with just a faint hint of blue...barely noticable though.
