Advice wanted for choosing gauges.

ImranZack

Good day tuners,

I would like some advice on the brand of gauges to purchase.

The type of gauges (all 52mm electrical full sweep) to be installed is listed below
1) Oil pressure gauge
2)Air fuel ratio gauge with a wide band O2 sensor
3)either vacuum or coolant temp gauge.

I am considering going with prosport gauges but I don't know how accurate and durable these gauges are.
The other option is autometer but I don't like the look of it as much as the prosport look.

Can anyone experienced with gauges or using these gauges please help with giving some feedback.

Also suggestions to other brands are welcome

Thanks
Imran

prosport = waste of time & money in my book
Autometer and call it a day. Razz

Prosport guages are great & they are well priced, but if you lookin for durability, good looks & great reviews, then you should definitely invest in some DEFI's, the only thing is they are a bit expensive Wink

Autometer for durability/accuracy. Prosport for basic gauge and bling.

many options all depends on your budget
options would be from:
HKS
Greddy
Stri
Apexi
Blitz
Defi
Autometer as stated above

now for a proper wideband go with one from like
AEM
or
Innovate

^^^to add to that list of gauges "Stack".....its now owned by autometer, but they keep their manufacturing separate so its still good british engineering.

and i agree about the wideband AEM or Innovate.....AEM is more common i think......

if you want quality...go with autometer...it's better and besides there are different series in autometer like: phantom, cobalt which offer different styles to suit your liking.

I'm telling you it's better to spend your money good cuz if u happen to raise boost or so in the future the pro sport may not read properly

ever heard of the saying measure twice and cut once?......well autometer is the way.

by the way make sure and get a boost gauge..it's mandatory

Basic question:

Who does installation of autometer (or any brand/type) gauges?

Contact information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

cacasplat3 Great info there from the archives! (Copy and paste) I did have some of that in mind, but the thing is - the interpretation of the readings is what one need to be schooled up on. Idea

Ive used a variety of gauges - Prosport, autogauge etc. I can tell you from practical experience that Autometer is the Best by Test
