i'm looking to get an af gauge, boost gauge, egt...
if you are happy with your setup, could you please let me know the model number and make... i don't want to be disapointed with what i end up getting.

THANKS

 

I have Defi D-gauge boost, and EGT. They match perfectly with your stock gauge colors being amber. Everything matches perfectly. I would highly recommend it if you want to keep the colors the same and not being tooo tacky.

 

AEM makes a nice wideband a/f gauge. It pricey but its accurate. It can't be comprated to the cheap "light show" a/f gauges that are non-wideband.

 

I take it that Autometer suck?

 

How about Greddy

I never had any problems with my Autometer boost gauge. I have also never heard any negative comments about AM so in my books they are good for the price.

 

Autometers are good, they just look like crap. But they finally came out with a nice set of gauges, check this out.

Look ricey to me. 7 color illumination. I would go with the Defi or a simple Autometer Ultra-Lite if you don't want to pay as much.

 

I dont find they look "ricey" at all. The 7 color illumination is cool because anybody can match the colors to their stock gauges.

Does anybody know when these will be released?

 

I guess matching the colors to my interior isn't as important as an accurate boost reading from a reliable gauge is to me.

 

Alright cool! Considering these are all mechanicly controlled (probably via pressure valve), just how inaccurate are the cheapest ones from the mid-priced models (ie cheapo Autozone gauge vs higher-end Autometer).

Though this still probably falls under "you get what you pay for".

 

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Autometer boost guages...so I would steer clear of those.

I like the Defi D-Series gauges. They are one of the only gauges that come in PSI readings...I hate BAR...and the glow of the light matches the Z's illumination perfectly. I have a boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge...also the AEM Wideband...which I am about to junk for the LM-1 unit.

 

thanks for all the feedback... please keep it coing..

 

+1 for the Defi D-series gauges. I love the perfect matched lights.

 

I'm currious...

What exactly do you hate about the AEM? What makes the LM-1 better?

 

it logs

 

Ah!

But does that make the AEM bad?

 

no, the AEM is still an awesome piece for the price and has the convenience of coming in a 52mm gauge, making it easy to integrate with your other gauges. The units that log, like PLX, LM1, Turbo XS and others are more sophisticated and great for those who love to fiddle, ala gq

On my own "tuner" car, I run full standalone, but I have the AEM going in, just to give me a quick read of AFR without having to lug my laptop around
