IMO Defi sucks unless you're just wanting a show car. If you want some REALLY nice gauges, check out SPA Tech digital gauges. They are the best I know of. I'll be redoing my gauges soon and you can bet it'll include these.

I have never been a fan of digital boost gauges, primarly becuase you can't see the sweeping progression of boost while you are driving. To each his own, of course.

Well... to me it doesn't really matter because with a 30psi gauge, you can't get an exact reading unless you're staring right at it anyway. That's why the peak function on these gauges is so nice.

That's really beside the point though. The best thing about it is you can have multiple temp gauges in one.

Come on now. "Defi sucks". We all have our opinions. I'm not defending them because I have them. But how can you say they suck? What would be your reasons? Or you just don't perfer them? I wouldn't think you couldn't say there not one of the products out there that are close to top of the line. Not speaking of looks. To me there just as good as the next.

The product you showed was nice, especially the option for brake bias gauge and I'm sure they work wonderful. Out of all the top companies out there, I feel gauges are close to equal, just slight different functionality's.

Plus, the fact of the matter is that they look pretty cool too, which to a lot of people is worth the extra money.

Doug, thats pretty much exactly what I want. Did you install that yourself, or did you just get your shop to do it?

those are the BF series right? Do they have something like a "peak-hold" function?

Very nice. Looks like a solid set-up, with lots of room for more power if you ever decide to build the motor. PMed you.
