which gauges should i get?

disturbed1 · 08-14-2006, 04:01 PM

ive been looking at all kinds of gauges and i can't decide. i would love defi but too expensive. can you guys through out a list of gauges i should get and which ones i should get. price would help. i sorta like the cobalt gauges. i also saw this glowshift gauges that look nice but i don't know if i should trust them.

mad dad makes gauges that match the color of the gauge cluster and they are cheaper than the defi's.

I think it is crazy to spend that much on Defi's. I would look at the Stewart warner's. They match almost perfectly and are great guages. Ive been running them for over a year now. You can also get the invidual sending units and adapters if you need a replacement. They are a third of the price of those Defi's...

+1! I bought mine used for $630 shipped (Boost/OP/EGT/CU/Pod). Included everything except the Boost "T" ($5 )and the EGT fitting ($11) for the manifold.

No, they don't. Defi's look OEM, they're beautiful.
