What are the best gauges?
Defi gauges are nice, but they're overpriced to hell.
I have some AEM digitals in mine, and I like em a lot. I prefer a quick basic readout over the needle. Though AEM's gauges have been going down in quality recently, my boost gauge was on the fritz and had to send it back for a new one.

I just ordered a three Prosport EVOs. Boost/vac, wideband, oil press for my triple a-pillar pod. I had autometers but wasn't diggin mechanical gauges so I switched over. They are pretty sweet looking gauges and seem pretty popular, not to mention they share the evos namesake. Worth checking out: http://prosportgauges.com/evo-series.aspx
Defi is not entirely accurate...esp. boost (off at least 2-3psi with the two I've had). The black face gauges are hard to see in bright sun; the backlighting is not bright enough and they wash out...so keep that in mind when you are choosing where to mount.
Personally, I went with Stack. They are dead nuts accurate, they have a very clearly marked dial, clear dial "glass", no gimmicks, no extra controller box to mount.
There are others out there that are cheaper than Stack and very good: Stewart Warner, VDO, Autometer to name a few.
Prosports are cheap, I will give you that...but you get what you pay for. I know checking some problems out for others, esp. boost, the gauges were off. I'm not sure I would trust them entirely...ymmv.
...and did anybody notice that this thread was brought back from a three year coma?

Anybody know what is the size of our stock gauges? Also any suggestions on what other option I can go with as far as a new gauge pod to replace the stock one? I have the gauges at the top, then a/c then radio and I like the location of everything now. I don't like the idea of putting gauges that block any type of view eg on top of steering wheel or on top of the dash.
thanks!
thanks!
This looks like the way to go for me!!!!
