ProSport Gauges

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

Suggestions on other companies welcomed!

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 like prosport they're not overly expensive and work well, you can check mine out if you like.

Thanks guys, I think I will stick to prosport at this point. For the price the features arent bad at all. Plus I dont wanna spend $500 on Defi Gauges

Paul, did you get your truck fixed?

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.

Racer Gauge Summary | Defi – Exciting products by NS Japan

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
