make sure they come with complete hardware needed for the install.

imo, its better if you get them all together at the same time. you get more value for your money. also, you can have as many gauges as you want. its your car.

i like the gauges mounted on the a pillar too:

Ok so I have decided, I am going to get prosport... was set on defi for a while ... but im not willing to drop that $$ there. I have spent many hours comparing, and there seems to be an equal amount of people complaining about prosports as well as defi.

From their website, premium 60mm black faced gauges
1 Amber/White Premium 60mm Electric Boost gauge $88.50
1 Amber/White Premium 60mm Oil Pressure Gauge $110.00
1 Amber/White Premium 60mm Water Temperature $77.50

so 276$.

*edit*
spoke to customer service,
"Derek,

you will also need a M20x1.5 oil adapter plate

and a water adapter plate 34mm

here is the links. http://prosportgauges.com/oil-filter-adaptor-plate.aspx
http://prosportgauges.com/water-temp...e-adaptor.aspx

Everything comes with a 1 year warranty "

The real question is install. Damian said he would in 6 weeks, I may not be patient enough for that. What kind of shop would you trust to install gauges? I cant really imagine driving down to ER for this.

If anyone knows any shop (or person for that matter) that can do it please lmk.

drocksmash Feb 22, 2011 05:10 PM

Only shop that has been recommended wants 180 for the install

Does that sound about accurate?
seems a little high but im not sure

Their very easy to install it yourself. I did all 3 of my gauges, it just takes time. the instrustions that came with my prosports were easy to follow.

^thank you for the info... I am going to try it myself.

You guys sick of me yet?

Here is my latest issue.

Buying the three gauges i want, boost, oil pres, water temp in the premium gauges (have peak/warn) = 271 before shipping

buying the three in the performance type (no peak/warn) it is 176 before shipping. 100$ difference, when I have lived this long without the peak setting, I wonder if I would really use it?

If my boost is off a few psi oh well.. ill monitor the oil pres, wont need an alert.

meh... the decisions that need to be made!

Side note, I ordered my 3 gauge 60mm a pillar pod, at least one thing has been checked off

Sir Kyle Feb 23, 2011 08:41 PM

It's a good idea to have the alert of the oil pressure. Quick reactions to total loss of pressure can save your motor. Just be sure to wire it up to the right power source so it comes on when the key is at ON. Or when you just use the ACCESSORY it will not get a pressure signal and the alarm will constantly go off. It gets annoying when you just want to listen to the radio.

drocksmash Feb 23, 2011 08:46 PM

ok perhaps ill get the alert version for just that gauge.

D Grade Feb 23, 2011 09:23 PM

Definitly just install yourself, Derek. Guages are pretty simple. I actually considered ditching my Defi's for Prosports. Cheaper, I still need the control unit (which is as much as one prosport gauge of my choice) and a boost gauge (as much as your total price for all your gauges). I've got other mod cravings to attent to.

Hey Josel, what A pillar pod is that? I bought a Glow Shift one in gray but its a lil too shiney and doesnt look right. Might respray it or something but yours looks good.

F0RSAKEN Feb 23, 2011 09:58 PM

Someone makes an OE fit a-pilla pod. I have one somewhere lol. It matches the interior pretty good.

Was it VTR that quoted you? Id back them up because they installed Sassaphrass's gauges and they are prosports as well, and last time I was there, they were working on a STY doing a custom gauge install. Very clean work and honest guys {thumbup}

drocksmash Feb 24, 2011 08:58 AM

Bought that A pillar last night, I think I am going to get em and wait for dkc to help ill pay him to teach me lol
