What Gauges To Get?

[Stage2]

Hey all, just wanting advise on what gauge brands are out there, i am looking at getting a few gauges such as boost, water temp, oil pressure & oil temp.

For the boost and oil temp i want the gauges to read in PSI but most brands such as apexi, defi, and greddy read in BAR. So are brands such as autogauge and saber any good? Also are electronic gauges much better than mechanical?

Please advise me if you think i am getting the wrong gauges or if other brands are out there.

Feel free to post anything!!

Thanks bo0st

It depends on the look u want as well. Autogauge is generic to me. and Saber gauges have smoked faces but still a bit plain in terms of look. Have a look at DRIFT gauges. U can get reflective faces or black.

I prefer to get Defi gauges myself because the look good. b4 u start up the car ther blak and when u start it lights up and the needle opens.

Majority of Jap gauges will be in BAR not PSI cause thats how they read it over there, as a personal choice i would go for the jap branded gauges regardless of the way they display the reading (bar not psi) because there generally very high quality gauges so its worth the extra money, for my personal car ive got some Apexi EL gauges i haven't installed them yet but they will be a lot better then the yumcha mechanical Timex ones i have now as for the electric or mechanical gauges for ease of setting up go electric because you can just get the source unit and then generally daisy chain all the gauges so theres less wiring to do, that and you have the wank features like the Peak and Warning lights

iv got autometer gauges... work well, mechanical gauges are more accurate
