$150 to spend...what gauges would you buy?

[HailtotheSilvia]

ok, recently i've been looking at getting a nice/cool looking boost, water, and oil pres, for my car...(currently running APC boost...got it for free, hate it).

I really like Greddy gauges a lot...but sure as hell don't like the price. I've been looking at Megan Racing Gauges on Ebay lately and i like the way they look a lot....my question is..Anyone here have them? how are they? accurate?I only have about $150 to spend on gauges....which one would you buy?

My ultimate question is...are all gauges the same???? when you're actually buying $100 + gauges...is it for the name?

I'd trust Autometer for that price range.

[nv240fastback]

egauges.com has the best prices around.

Autometer looks to be the most cost-effective. Although i've been having accuracy problems with my boost gauge...

i like vdo electrical gauges a lot. easy, accurate(as far as i can tell), and cheap.

DEFI D-GAUGE

<3 with defi. with 150, i'd get the boost. the MR gauges (from what i have heard) kind of suck to read.

support the original company, get the defi!

spec on the gauge please??? kindna interested...is it electrical or mechanical? 52mm or 60mm? any gauge holder?

[kota2240]

60mm, mechanical, comes with gauge holder. I have dropped the price down to 120.00 shipped. Its also on ebay. let me know

I'm using a set of Megans. Boost and water temp. I had a HKS adjustable wastegate actuator that is rated at a max of 1 bar from HKS and that's where I set it at. The gauge reads accordingly. No way to test the accuracy of the water temp gauge, but under normal hwy driving conditions, it stays at about 190 to 195 degrees. It seems pretty reasonable to me.

[Justin35ll]

i have a mechanical autometer boost gauge and an electrical autometer oil pressure gauge both seem to work accurately

I love my autometer comp II boost gauge.If I had a larger budget Id prolly go Defi though

[duffman1278]

If Nascar can trust Autometer, then I'll certainly put my money on it. Which I have, I run autometer lite II gauges and I love them.

Getting rid of my Greddy's to get Prosport's.

4 year old thread instantly gets revived??

[OM3GA]

Im going to be running Autometers for sure. I like that the other gauges can be set up with a data logging system but i pay attention to all the gauges so theres no need really.

Ive actually got a pretty nasty hot gauge setup coming out of the closet sometime soon. Its in my head now its just got to get on the bread.
