Default 52mm boost gauge

Does anybody know of a accurate boost gauge that is 52mm in size and lights up in amber, to match my si cluster? I would get the defi gauges but they are 60mm and also i've only seen 52mm gauge bezels for around the cluster. And I really want to get the innovate Air fuel gauge in amber because that is a perfect match, and is also 52mm gauge. Any input would be great.

I believe PLX sells 52mm boost gauges, but I am really not sure about the color.

I have never used their boost gauge, but their wideband is really good. Very accurate.

Thanks ill have to check those out, defi doesn't make the BF series, I think it is, in 52mm which is the one I like. Can anybody find pictures of gauge set-ups in 96-00 civic's. Minus the pillar gauges cause that's too common and can be seen easily.

Are the prosport gauges accurate? For that price, that is not bad at all compared to like 300 for a defi

I've used Autometer, Greddy, Megan Racing and now Prosports. I can say they are pretty accurate. they don't bounce around like megan, or autometer and a nice smooth stepper motor. from what I read awhile ago, is that it utilizes the same stepper motor that is used in the defi's. I don't know why many people overlook these gauges. there nice for the price. I am currently using the peak/warning oil pressure, oil temperature and boost gauge from Prosport. oh and been using them for over a year now. problem free!!!

I understand your concern, that's why I went through so many different gauges. I needed something accurate, that I wasn't going to spend an arm and leg getting. I drive off my gauges.....if there not right, I won't go anywhere. gotta know what's up with my engine at all times.

Thanks for the info, i think i'm going to go for them. Like you said you never had a problem with them and they are accurate and thats what I'm looking for. Thanks again!

prosports are ok for the money but the quality isn't nearly as high as greddy or defi. There is just something cheesy looking about the way the face looks under the curved plastic. The button on mine never worked so I can't even set the peak warning feature. It reads exactly the same as my mechanical greddy though.

those are real nice too. if i went with the defi's, where would be a good mounting postion besides the pillar, on a 99 si. Now that i think about it, when i get another subaru, it will be good to have those gauges cause they match and fit in the middle dash.
