GAUGES q
Boost, oil PRESSURE and Exhaust Gas Temp are the three most common and in my opinion most important. You can find gauges pretty much anywehre but if you want them cheap check ebay or the private for sale section.
Where are you planning to mount them?

+1 have have not had any problem with stewart warner gauges. 42 draft sells them in sets also. Here is the link for the sets http://www.42draftdesigns.com/soluti...lution_swb.htm
They also sell red led that match perfect to the stock cluster

Defi offers the new blue racer 52mm gauges. They look pretty cool and don't need the control unit. Just won't match the other lights in the evo, but would match the blue recaro's of an VIII (i know, you have a IX)

Exaclty what I needed to know! I am going with Stewart Warners in the Gruppe-s dash pod. Do you have a pic with the red LED's installed.
+1 on the stewart warners I have heard nothing but praise about these gauges in the 42 draft designs mount. I personaly run Apexi Boost EGT and oil Pres with an AEM wide band but that was a fairly pricey endevor. So for the money Stewart warner would be my bet

Sorry I not yet. I took them out of my VIII and haven't put them in the IX yet. I have the silver face gauges not the black. Anyway search on this site the pics with the red leds are on this site somewhere. From my eyes the red leds match perfect though.
My setup will be oil pressure , boost, and egt in the lower pod and wideband oin the sterring wheel not sure if I am going with the AEM or the Zeitronix

I would highly recommend against running the EGT on the ebay gauges. Generally speaking those gauges are not accurate, but they will give you a general indication of where you're at (usually) if you're on a tight budget. That said I have seen countless ebay EGT probes break off and destroy turbochargers. If you must run an ebay gauge, see if they are compatible with universal thermocouples, then use the high quality ones for aircraft use (usually about $75) or pickup a DEFI one (if it's compatible).
If you guys are looking for something a big more high end, we offer DEFI, Omori, and Greddy gauges, with our ABS panel (52mm or 60mm).
