Guage questions

does the brand of guages matter that you get?? Their is a site that has the guage pod and 3 guages for 180 shipped... they said their is no recall and that their a wholesale company thats why so cheap... but i was wondering would it be better to go with a better name brand.. thanks all

If you want guages just to look at...get the cheapies. If you want gauges that actually work and look good...pony up some good hard earned money.

They are not accurate. My boost gauge was off 3psi, my temp gauge was also off.

Autometer's are decent and so are Stewart-Warner's. Both are reasonably priced.

I like my Stri gauge and you could probably get 3 mechanical for around that price from AMS. Good looking gauge and is accurate. Good luck!
