So here's the deal...I am just finishing up my SR swap into my '95 240, and now I am in the market for some new gauges...Boost, EGT, Oil Pressure, etc...

I did my entire swap myself and everything is exceptionally clean, including the car and under the hood. I want a set of bad *** gauges, and I'm not really afraid to spend a little money considering I'm trying to keep everything high-end and clean.

I've checked out the Defi Link's, all of Blitz's line, Greddy, even the Autometer Cobalt....

If you had some cash to spend...which gauges would you choose?

I'm just getting some GReddy 52mm's. Boost, Water Temp and EGT. The Blitz EL and the Apex'i gauges are the nicest looking. I like the Autometer Cobalts (not the gay C2's). More Money doesn't get you better gauges all the time though. The nice thing about the Apex'is though is that you can get control box which is extremely cool.

Autometer's have worked great for everyone for a long long time. Cheap, mass produced, dependable, widely used, they'll work for me anyday. Spending double to get some cool Japanese unit is really not worth it. Although I do like the control box thing.........

I like defi, apex-i and blitz...HKS is nice too. Im not a big VDO or autometer fan, too "super-cheese" for me, and I like having a control box that has all the sensors, etc all in it so chaning a gauge isnt such a pain in the a-- or adding one, for that matter.-chet
