Ok so I wanna finally get some gauges for my car, I wanna be able to see whats going on, I have been reading alot and searching evom alot and again like most things them seem very biased on the brand of gauges just like everything else. So I found these and they were mentioned at evom and claimed to actually pretty accurate and supposably tested to be just as good as Defi. Personally I cant ever see myself spending 300 bucks per gauge, thats just crazy, so heres the link to what I think would be good. If i get these I'm gonna get a boost, oil presrure and egt gauge. So I want your guys opinion in these. I might purchase them tomorrow but wanna see what you guys say first.

Oh I have seen those glowshift gauges, them seem pretty neat, but I kinda liked the proshift ones because they match the stock instrument cluster color.

I can vouche for the Prosport gauges. I have an electronic boost and EGT gauge. I like the self test sweep the needles do on the electronic gauges.
I have some pics in my CarDomain if you'd like to see.
I'm boosting at 21psi and there is one other that I know of boosting 25psi with them without issue or accuracy errors.

You can also get them from the Prosport site.

Here's what they look like now with the rings painted black.

Here's what inspired me to get them...my buddy with a black STi

quote:

[quote="evossuck"]so i finally got it wired up correctly!! :roll:

i guess the way i had it wired up before made the gauges actually red not "amber"...because if you look close the color didnt match the STi's dash...but now it does!!! also i got it wired up so that white is on during the day (due to them being smoked out and cant see them during the day) and its "amber" during the night...it took hours of testing but i finally found a wire that made it work...also i ghettoed some pretty badass test leads outta screwdrivers, wire and electrical tape!! :D :D

i didnt get done before nighttime so i dunno if the white helps out during the day yet...

heres some pics:

white:

amber:

***Notice in the amber pic that the headlights are on and in the white pic the headlights are off....

ill post up what its like during the day tomorrow...

I looked at them before I bought them and they are really easy to see during the day and night with the way they are lit up (white during the day and amber at night (or green/blue, whichever color gauges you get).

Lol, thanks for the comment bud.
Did you know that someone with a Talon put an Avenger front end on? It's a blue Talon (painted). I tried to look for it on Talk, which is where I originally saw it, but I can't find it anymore. I think the old pics were removed along with the reformatting of the site and the guy just hasn't posted it back yet. It doesn't look that bad really, it's kind of along the lines of an Eclipse front end on an Avenger, just backwards, lol.

Here's some painted pics

...the site is kind of odd though because I couldn't view the entire pic because it was too big and there wasn't a scroll function. I guess the designer made it to fit on a higher resolution set screen and forgot about us 1024 guys, lol.
Let me see if I can find that Talon with the Avenger front end. Both conversions are "different". I don't know if either are ricey, but you know how it goes, some like it and some don't, lol.
Besides, now I have to find it, lol.
