oh, and cost:

The Saga Gauges come in White or Amber Face! Let’s break it down, this is what I was going to go with: Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure (will replace stock gauges with these).

Saga 2.0 (from 500whp.com)
Boost…………$175
Temp………….$95
Oil Pressure….. $185
Control Unit……N/A
Shipping:………FREE
TOTAL……..$455 SHIPPED


Now let’s compare with Defi’s BF Series (egauges.com)

Boost…………$230.40
Temp………….$201.60
Oil Pressure….. $269.10
Control Unit……$97.75
Shipping………..FREE
TOTAL……..$798.85

DIFFERENCE of $343.85 that can go into a wideband.

Nice, - though the increments seem a bit close together. What does the boost gauge read to?

I plan on coming down to GRD in a month or so (give or take) to refine my setup a bit. We need to meet up. you should have your motor broken in and tuned by then

For sure. Hit me up when you come down here. Boost meter goes up to 30 PSI.

Looks good!

Hey, gotta quick question: will the A/F gauge will be moved to a single pod in the A-pillar once the 3rd Saga gauge comes in?

when lit, the color is a GREAT match to the Z's red (needle/door open/etc). Looks very OEM in person.

Hmm.. Might have to take a closer look at 500whp.com? Great looking gauges for a sweet price! Good pics.

I will send you PM.

I chose a 15 psi boost gauge on my setup. Friend of mine ran a 30 on his car that he was running 12 lbs on, and the increments were hard to distinguish. Me, well I planned on running 8-9, then built the motor, so now I peak at 14 (near 15 psi on cold days) and in a few more weeks 15-16 lbs. I plan on keeping my 15 psi gauge and enjoy maxing it out. I also run the zeitronix boost sensor, so I can still keep an eye on my boost levels
