What are the best guages really??
know before eveyones says DEFI!!!! 
i am well aware they are good but the thing that puts me off a touch is on the boost guage over 2bar the defi one is max'd out
so i am just curious what are the best ones and whats best to use, is it worth me using the defi's for the rest and a different boost guage!?
cheers Ad

You need the really big Stack gauge mate but its prob out of your league 
The other option was the 2.5 bar Apexi one but I believe it was discontinued
If you not going over 2bar stick with the defi mate

OH my 'lord i was just thinking you may reply with that house sized guage
i understand it has a use but its just too big mate and i will be going over 2bar eventually
but just for question purposes would defi for the rest be the best option!?

as mentioned tho gents the auto ones are more expensive than defi and the defi ones are proven good...
personally i think bufty boy mike should get on to defi everyday to get them to make a 3bar boost guage, i bet they make one within a few days of him ringing they get so fed up

. Adam,
The fact that I tried to persuade Apexi to retain the 2.5 bar gauge had no standing, so how do you think I could persaude Defi to actually completely manufacture from scratch one?
