Default What gauges do you use ?

Hi.

Throughout the winter, I will be buying new gauges for oilpress, turbopress and so on. But I don't want some inaccurate shajtgauges, but don't want to pay fuckall for them either...

I've read some reviews, and autogauge comes out pretty good. This was the turbopressgauge, don't know how the other gauges are.

Also I've been looking at VDO's range, wich can pretty much look like the standard sierra gauges.Colourwise etc.

Both these gauges comes to me quite cheap thru my job, so if anyone got any experiences with these I'm all ears. Or any other brand.

I have an Autogauge smoked voltage jobby in mine. What can I say about it...well erm...it works lol.

I am, however, getting water temp and oil temp put in and I am going Autometer for those. Going to get mine from USA though.

Depends how much you want to pay!

Autometer are great value for money but there are much better gauges at more money!

Sure I would love the best there is, but £150 a piece just isn't a option
