Which boost gauge?

Hey guys, i am looking at different boost gauges. I am leaning towards the defi d series, but i just wanted to get some opinions on what you thought might be a good choice. I figure most gauges will work about the same but just thought i'd ask what you guys were using. Thanks for any help

Defi's good - so's Omori. Pricey though.

Just ordered my Defi D series. I like the look, and the coloring matches stock gauging pretty well.

If you do just make sure whoever you order it from verifieds the gauge is reading '0' PSI before shipping; there was a bad batch of D-series floating around that rested on '1' PSI when off, and read 1.5PSI over actual boost when installed.

Good luck

I'll be number three to give props to the Blitz BLMs. I've got the Boost and EGT in my A pillar and love them. Definitely not for everyone, but I think they're gorgeous.

Probably with the BF is that the boost is only on bar. Good for the UK, etc., but not for us imperialists.

I prefer the Defi Link Meter.

Check out the Apexi El gauges, thats all I have and they look sick at night,can chose black or white face. Can also get mechanical boost gauge in PSI which is nice.
