deciding on boost gauges

so, i really want to get oil temp/voltage/and boost gauges. i dont want to spend 150+ a pop on defi's, but i dont want the pepboys brand either. i was browsing through websites and saw this website in particular, @ http://deporacinggauges.com/. any reason these are so cheap, anyone have any insight? suggestions appreciated. I'm kind of on a tight budget . i do also want to take account of installation difficulty. i dont want to sit there for hours and not get it and then have to pay someone to do it. id rather get the defi's, from what i've heard they are pretty easy to install. any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks for looking at my post and i hope to hear back from you guys soon!

Looks pretty decent. Don't know too much about Depo stuff. You might want to check STRI and Prosport gauges too. Not too expensive

check out the prosport gauges as well, but i say go defi, they're worth the extra money.

I agree with Joey m3. I have the defi blue racer boost gauge and the quality is good. It's not really expensive and the isntallation was decent.

I'm also in the same pickle. What makes defi gauges worth an arm and a leg? Are we paying for the name, quality, easy to install, etc, etc?!? please someone explain why?

Prosports get the job done too. For a fraction of the cost, it's nothing too bad. If it may ever fail, you can always get a new one. Defi's are top notch quality stuff, but I'm too broke to afford them. lol :P
