As above I have a crappy auto gauge boost gauge in my xr3i turbo

Had a look online at stack (being a brand snob) they seem to be alright and about 50 a gauge for mechanical ones

Also looked at racetech, vdo TIMband turbo smart

Do you get what you pay for or are they trading on a desirable name?

Any other good brands people recommend

 

personally i had Defi guages in my Evo and i really liked them, they were expensive when i bought mine 5yr ago but well worth it , ive just ordered some for my Ecos off ebay

 

I isw racetech and have had no problems with them!

 

DEFI gauges / sensors are wicked, if not the best.

 

DEFI are good but really expensive. I currently use Autometer and Stack. More than happy with them

 

I have Defi's and SPA both very good not cheap thou.
Rich

 

I rate the vdo ones in mine as they look nice and simple

 

short clip on start up ......the guage faces are black until you turn the key ....then this happens ......>>>
i personally wont have any other guages now other than DEFI !

 

Mine are autometer phantom 1 gauges in white, boost-oil pressure-volts , mounted these where the CD player would go

 

Here's my vdo ones afr is stack I'm a lover of the simple look more in keeping with the car some of the more fancy ones look awful

 

Another angle

 

Autometer Phantom II's....






Oh and price wise, for what you see there about Ł700 from memory.

 

I'm not really a fan of bling gauges either personally, as long as they are neat and tell me what I need to know its all good!

Mine:

 

Thanks for replays peeps looks like I'll possibly be going with stack ones then it also prefur the basic style

Although the fu auto meter set up looks the nuts!

Thanks again

 

Got the Ford Racing in mine, understated, no frills and do the job.

 

I had stack dash, stack AFR and an SPA Dual boost/egt in mine

 

Had race tech in mine

Now gone race technology
