Im comparing the defi, autometer, or AEM gauges, the plus side of the defi and autometer is I would preffer blue gauges, but the AEM look alot easier to read, since there digital.

I have the AEM Wideband and its a pretty nice gauge. I wish it read from 10.0-20.0 though not 10.0-17.0. I also love my Defi boost gauge. I can post some pics of my gauge setup if you'd like.

i got the aem boost and wideband, the only thing i dont like about the boost gauge is that when its in vac. it doesnt read odd numbers, and when in boost, it is just a whole number, wish it would show for example 22.3 not just 22.

If you can get your hands on the older version it reads xx.x however it does not indicate that its in vacuum (i.e. no negative). I was going to send mine in for the reprogram but after hearing this I guess not....it's pretty obvious that the cars in vacuum or boost when you need to look at it.

I have trueboost as just the gauge and wideband...serial next to fill that extra hole. I like them both, never have I had a problem.

it doesnt have a negative, its just the number, only the led light shows if its in vac or boost, if i could send it out to get it reprogramed i would def. do it because i realy do like the gauge.

Are you referring to an AEM boost or the AEM Truboost Gauge. The Truboost gives boost with decimal... 24.9 for example. My guess is the regular AEM boost doesnt do this, also since it doesnt have a button I guess it doesnt do peak hold either.

Note. The Truboost and the Uego are not the same brightness level. However this does not detract from their functionality, I noticed it for about 5 minutes and my brain ignores it now. I love the peak hold function of the Truboost, very useful feature.
