So I am looking to purchase 3 Gauges: A/F, Boost, and Oil pressure.

I am looking at:
AEM Gauges
- AEM 30-4350 Tru-Boost Controller Gauge
- AEM 30-4100 UEGO Controller Gauge
- AEM 30-4407 Oil Pressure Gauge

Prosport EVO Series
- Boost Gauge
- Oil Pressure
- Wideband Digital Air Fuel Ratio Kit


Now I am new to cars in general so will probably be looking up guides to install and having friends help. My Evo is a 2005 RS and it has some basic mods - Exhaust, UICP and LICP, and an intake. Any input would be awesome or if you recommend another brand I would really appreciate it. I plan to get it tuned in the next few months so trying to get some basics installed. Thanks for all the help!

 

I've had decent luck with ProSports. They have a bad rep. Get AEM's.

 

If you're only set on those two brands then I would go AEM as well.

 

I'm looking for something that works well but also looks good. I like the digital stuff but would rather have good stuff also. The prosports look good and digital but see mixed reviews. Any others you would suggest?

 

i have STRI gauges and have had zero issues with them

 

I have the three AEM gauges you are considering. They're awesome. Only downside with the truboost is that you have to adjust it every now and then because of weather changes.

 

I have the a/f AEM and boost,oil press, and oil temp from Prosport. Ive had the Prosports for about a year and they work great.

 

I love the tru boost it can be programmed for temp, boost, oil , ect all in 1 gauge.

 

Defi racer gauges.

 

How often and how do you know when?

 

Would you go all Prosports or go AEM for the important 3 and prosports for others?

 

I like the way the AEM Analog gauges look.

Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Fuel Pressure. I have my AEM Wideband in my gauge cluster.

 

Defi is what I have the control unit is very nice to have you can check peak boost with a push of a button and also record anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 mins depending on the version, they are a bit pricey but if you find a good set used it is a worthwhile investment. Ziextronix is also very nice and quality

 

+1 STRI

I would also consider AEM or Autometer.

Defi is way overpriced for gauges that are often reported as inaccurate, but they're mad tyte JDM y0! Before all the JDM fan bois jump on me, here is some data to back-up my claims:
Prosport is very hit or miss as far as quality.
Glowshift gauges are garbage.

 

I went to an AEM wideband cause ive used one before on my srt4 and never had a problem in the 3 years that I had it, as for the Prosports they've been working good for the year that ive had them and for the price you cant complain. I have also used Autometer and had a few issues with them.
