which ones should i get?!?!? i am looking to get some that obviously work well, accurate, etc.

i am going to be in the market for the following gauges:

Boost/Vac ( stupid autometer one somehow is broken and only reads vac.)

EGT gauge and obviously probe

oil temp.

oil pressure

water temp

I am hoping to spend somewhere in the range of about 300-400 for all of them. the DEFI ones are soo hawt, but uber $$$$.

also i am looking for an electronic fuel pressure gauge, so i can see fuel psi from inside car.. some weird shit has been happening lately and its got me stumped. imma make another post about it..

viper just got a defi boost gauge, he says their really accurate

But between me selina and brian we all know autometers blow. for example

selina was boosting 7 pounds and it only read 2 pounds, a major reason that we couldnt figure out why she was getting cut off at what we thought was 2 pounds, not good for a boosted engine to have a bad boost gauge...

ALSO brian was boosting 7 pounds and it said 12, he turned it up to 11 and it read 17. WTF?

The only autometer boost gauge i havent seen suck serious ass is the gauge that doesnt read vacuum.

I've heard that Defi and Apexi gauge are very accurate.

Hey lemme know which ones you decide on. Maybe I can get them shipped out with a FlyRyde packet! I have like 10 of em right here, and an assload of new materials to make them, but I'm a lazy overrun bastard, and I have to go swimming at Randoms house today for a BBQ so I'm once again worthless. But I can still get one sent out with some gauges? Let me know how soon you need em. I also get the Megan Racing ones for a damn good deal. Good luck, and lemme know whatcha find.

chris, i was taking a look at the megan racing guages. i really think i like em. i have used megan racing stuff before.. exhaust sectionals, springs, bought a CF spoiler.. some high quality stuff.

i will probably be in the market for EGT, boost, oil pressure, oil temp. would you be able to get me a price on those?

thanx alot.. hopefully within the month i will be able to get em. still need some stuff with my exhaust fixed (hanging realllly low right now) and i gotta fix my oil pan again.

o yah itd be nice to finnnnally get the flyryde packet. AHAAAHAHAAH lmao.gif

Don't buy water temp... ours works just fine. We have a great thermostat which keep the temp regulated. Try removing it if you don't believe me.
