Default Gauge options?

Hi folks, i'm looking for some opinions/recommendations really please,
I've currently got Racetech boost and oil pressure gauges in my sapph, I'm looking to change the boost gauge for a 2.5 or 3 bar one with peak recall and also add a fuel pressure gauge with peak recall.
I like the look of the Stack gauges because they look similar to my existing gauges but the boost gauge only goes to 2 bar.
Has anyone used STRI gauges?
Any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Karl

What size is that gauge mate please?
Also, does it have any kind of peak recall?

Cheers, Karl

Thanks for the info mate, this is the problem that i have really, if possible, i want the gauges to be 52mm because i want them to fit in the centre vent gap, so that limits the options quite a lot

Thanks for the replies btw!

how about one of the monitors mike rainbird sells? thats what im thinking anyway, nice clean and simple, and probably not much more than buying a few decent quality gauges

oh and PM me if you sell the racetech oil press gauge, i havent got the money for a monitor at the mo but i do have a hole in my dash

Yeah, that's an idea, just had a look on the website, not sure if it monitors fuel pressure though

I'm keeping the oil pressure gauge at the moment mate but i'll let you know if i change my mind
