gauges.

what do you guys think of Omori gauges? I am lookin for the most stock looking gauges to place them on the center dash.

I read some post about them being nice and accurate then I read another post where the guy was says it was garbage...

I dont like the Defi's bc they are too big and i need the dumb module... even if I just wanted ONE Defi boost gauge

42 draft Designs make a nice 3 gauge din pod for 52mm gauges.
Im going to order that one and they also carry VDO gauges.

VDO gauges are very cheap.. I am assuming this is because they are mechanical and not accurated and just not good quality?

Most don't exceed 25psi...if you're using the Stock Metal BOV you're fine...however I would personally get something that reads -30-30psi

I had a VDO on my 1.8T worked fine.

I boost 28psi now...
Most boost only 22/23psi with standard bolt ons

Why not the defi gauge manual? I've been hearing good reviews on prosport gauges

http://www.prosportgauges.com/

21-23psi there is a difference if you modify your tune to reflect the new boost. (noticeable difference)

You can also look at Stewart Warner gauges. I have a mechanical one that reads to 40psi.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Also, I haven´t yet finished the tune on my car but I was spiking to 27psi on pump with a moderate increase in timing from stock. I only see 1-2 knock counts here and there, usually when spooling, but I understand it is somewhat common in the Evo world. I really need to take the time and finish the tune because I hate not being able to floor the car if I desire...I only give it 85-90% throttle.

My mods: Walbro, GM solenoid, Buschur catless TBE w/Magnaflow.
