gauges that match STI gauge cluster

tshrey · 03-31-2008, 07:50 AM

As in the title, what gauge sets are available that really match the STI gauge cluster? Are there any manufacturers that have a match with illumination both on and off and a close match on the font. Also, I want English units...

responses would be good, pics would be great!

thanks

I don't have pictures with my STI cluster but HKS guages match pretty good as well when I had it in my 03 WRX with STI cluster.

Defi and MadDad

MadDad has a set that look identical if I remember correctly.

**04STiguy79** · 04-04-2008, 01:11 PM

IMO I would go with the Defi's, but if your on a budget then the maddads.

So you can't install those Defi gauges without a control unit? I want a boost gauge, but not sure if I need/want the control unit yet.

The link unit is well worth it. You can set up Warnings, Play backs, and much more!

you can get the Defi red racer series that dont require a control unit. I have that installed on my car will upload pics later.

What are you using for the gauge mount? What is needed to complete the install? The gauge, mount and control unit?

thanks

To mount the gauge, we use the supplied pod. It uses double side tape, this way the dash does not get damaged.
And the only thing you will need is a control unit.
