I think they're really good, for the money! No point shelling out for 100 quid blitz cos it has a fancy face on it............ My TIM gauges are reliable, and accurate. Don't really need anything else eh?

TIM gauges are reliable, and accurate
my god thats the funniest thing i've heard all day... my TIM boost gauges were SO inaccurate it was unreal, they over-read by DOUBLE at 6psi (ie they showed 12psi but was really 6) biggest waste of 40quid EVER

TBH it dont really mater tho, all you need to know is if it does anything it doesnt normally do...

for example oil pressure, do you NEED it to be accurate? all you need to know is when it suddenly shoots down to 0 who gives a shit if youre showing 32psi oil pressure and its actually 31psi... big fookin deal

altho its a bit of a different sotry when we talking gauges like boost and AFR n stuff

What a load of rubbish!

You pay for stuff like digital gauges with analogue readout, peak recall facility, warning facility etc etc.........

Tim gauges are about as accurate as your perceptions!

I had tim gauges in my old S2, they only cost about £30 for the 3 of them. Bit of a contrast with my skyline's guages.
