Anybody running these gauges?

Just wondering as far as oil pressure gauges go, does the autometer electronic one works good. I just got the aem uego wideband for my 03 evo and wanted a matching oil press one from aem but budget limitations dont allow me to buy it now. What about glow shift gauges anybody out there using them, they sell them on ebay for $140 three gauges w the gauge pod which I thought was kind of risky for the price. Any other sugg for oil press gauges? Tnx a lot for ur input.

I had the glow shift gauges in my DSM and didn't have any issues with them. They won't match the AEM gauge though. I would hold out and save up. What mods do you have that you need an oil pressure gauge?

Glowshift gauges aren't bad, but I wouldnt run them. I have a subi buddy that has run them for over a year now and no problems. If you want a matching one just save your money and buy the aem one. I run the aem wideband and cobalt series autometer boost, and oil psi. I love the cobalts. 2nd set I've bought

-Btw, you can get the 3 gauges and A pod directly off gloshift's website for $149.99 if you dont like e-bay.

I have used the autometer air pressure and oil pressure gauges and they worked fine. Pretty accurate and decently priced. My brother had a glow shift air pressure gauge it worked fine until he dropped it.

Never a bad idea to watch oil pressure. I had a set of glow shift gauges in a 2g, they are decent, and good people to do business with.

If your on a budget I would recomend prosport gauges, good quality, good customer service from my experience and a close match to factory cluster

Just to save you money. You don't really need the oil pressure gauge imo unless your building a monster.

I agree. I have 3 prosports in my IX. Never had an issue. They have memory derringer and look like defi's at the fraction of the price. No need for that humongous computer required for defi too. Matches the IX cluster accurately

Oil pressure and water temp are pretty important. Ive used prosport gauges they are inexpensive and work pretty well.

Tnx every1, I have bought the prosport oil press and oil temp, to go with aem uego. The only reason y I wanted the oil press as well was because the guys at AMS told me the last time I was there, that the only three gauges u really need r the wideband, boost n oil press gauges.

I'm about to order boost/vac, wideband and oil pressre of the Prosport EVO's. They are really sharp looking. You should check them out, the boosts are currently unavailable though. http://prosportgauges.com/evo-series.aspx
