ProSport Gauges
I just bought a pillar pod for my car, looking into ProSport Gauges. Anyone have them? Likes, dislikes?

just go for the defis. my boost gauge doesn't work that well. When the car's engine was off, but the gauges were on, the boost gauge read 5psi. the oil pressure gauge sits at 0 psi, then jumps to 100 psi.. then back down to 0 psi. but these were also the bought in 2006. maybe the newer models work better?

I've had my prosport boost gauge for over 4 years and it's worked fine the entire time.
It's not 100% accurate, and reads way more VAC then it should, but the PSI is pretty close to where it should be. I think it was only off by 1 or 2 psi.
For the price, having the font and color match my STI cluster, it's worth it.
Would I love to have a set of Defi's, sure, but they are so much money.

Doesn't require the control unit, so you won't spend 500$ on 'em, but you still get Defi quality. They have an opening ceremony and everything. What's the point of gauges if they're not accurate? o.O
