Gauges to keep an eye on my engine

I want to get A/F, Boost, and Oil Press gauge for my evo so i can install my boost controller and make sure she's in the good. i also have some green accessory bulbs through out the car from light triks.... flame or not. i was thinking of using autometer sport comp 2 based on great pricing for an accurate gauge. or my buddy who is all about look is using Glow Shift gauges which look better than any i've seen but have no idea how accurate they are.
anyone have tips as far as getting a GOOD gauge with a green backlight for under 100 per?

I would check out prosport. They actually have a green gauge which may look pretty good.

I ordered a set for my Evo, but they haven't arrived yet. Most of the guys who have them really rave about them... you always get what you pay for, so they *may* not be as long lasting as some other "top of the line" gauges... but these seem to be really great bang for your buck.

You can search for "prosport" on these boards for more info... or google them. I ordered mine through Dan at Ultimate CC.

You can pm "Ultimate CC" on EvoM to get in touch with the guy who actually sells the gauges for pricing and so forth. I think he's running a 10% discount if you buy 3 or more gauges.

+1 for prosport great gauges. I don't recommend the fully electronic boost gauge though it was off by quite a bit when comparing it to a few mechanical boost gauges. Also you might want to look into an egt & coolant temp gauge.

I would avoid getting the A/F guage and pick out something else. It only really makes sense for A/F to get a wideband.

i should have been more clear a Wide band, boost and oil pressure. So the Wideband outs prosport and glowshift. I need something that looks as nice but i need those particular gauges my autometer just wont let my green led shine through.

anyone else have a good brand that shines like a mo fo
