prosport gagues!

http://www.prosportgauges.com/

anyone heard of these gauges? they look VERY good and the amber ones seem to match the gauge cluster color. they also do a nice sweep when they turn on. best part is that the boost, oil pressure and EGT gauges are only $165, with a year warranty. i saw a set of blue ones in a friends car, and they match perfectly with the dash lights.

Very easily. You set you MBC to 21 psi using your dodgy boost guage, and it is actually really 25 psi. Engine go bye bye.

Guages may be fine, may be crap. U decide if it is worth the risk

They are similar to the megan racing ones..I had some in my nissan..The damn oil pressure were inaccurate..boost wasn't all that...you get what you pay for...In bright sunlight, you can't even see the damn thing.

I might be going with these. One reason is that daddysscp.com carries them.

Stay away from Megan Racing. They are crap my buddy has them on his turbocharged IS300 and they couldn't tune with it all all so he ditched them right away. Defi's are by far the nicest looking but IMO they are a complete waste of money. I used autometer for a long time and I finally just got Stweart Warner gauge and I think they blow autometer out of the water.

Did you go with the ones from 42draft? How do you like them, are they accurate?

I personally don't loke any of the fade to black style gauges. Every one I've seen in person looks like crap.

I think Autometer and Stewart Warner are probably the best reasonably priced gauges that are readily available in the US.

I have quite a lot of experience with Autometer gauges from work and have had them in my car for the last 3 years and not once have I had any issues with them. They also have a broad range of gauges.

Omori's aren't bad either.
