Boost ,Egt in my book are the most important to me. Next would come oil pressure.

Almost everyone sells them. I bought most of mine at evolutionsports.com but have also seen them on ebay (new) for great prices.

I am also looking for an A pillar gauge pod that will hold 3 60mm gauges and has the tweeter cut out? I have looked everywhere and am begining to belive it does not exist. Does anyone know where I can get one?

How does the Autometer Z-Series compare to Defi, Greddy, or HKS?

There is not really a lot to compare between the different gauges. In my opinion it is mostly aesthetics when it comes to picking your gauges. That is what makes it so hard. If it was a performance issue and one was obvioulsy better than the other then it would be an easy decision. I looked at the Autometer Z-Series but liked the cobalt ones better. Like I said, it was just a looks issue. I have still yet to make a decision on which gauges to buy however.

What's the difference between electronical and mechanical gauges?
I saw Defi needs a control unit. I need a boost gauge urgently and was wondering how is measuring done with elec. vs mech. gauges and which one would be the most precise out of all models on display here?
Price difference is obviously there.

Check my overlays.
They match the Autometer C2 series.

Go to lancershop.com and check the gauges section. I'm not sure if they still have any in stock, but I know they have a 3 pod a pillar peice for 60mm gauges in the stock color listed there. I got the 2 pod version but haven't mounted it yet. Went with the Blitz BLM gauges which I think look super sexy.

Hey Bishi, where did you get those overlays? Really like em! Expensive? Hard to apply? Are you happy with them?

My Eclipse head unit has a blue and read light theme, and I'm installing Blitz BLM gauges soon which will carry thru with the blue. I'd love to get the blue and red in the console as well.
