Are these gauges any good?
hey guys as the topic states, I saw these gauges in a few mags and then on the netand was wondering how they compare to other gauges and if they are any good at all.

personally, unless you're boosting at least 20psi, the gauge kind of sucks! It looks pretty, but I'd get somthing with a shorter sweep

Why would it suck? do they perform like crap? or is it just because they have a a large sweep.
I am planning on boosting about 22 - 25 on race gas but only about 15 daily driver, also most gauges are a full sweep to 30 psi. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever used them or heard how well they work.

i wouldn't trust the brand. they seem to be more concerned with being universal and cosmetic than functional. accuracy is what you should look for in a guage.

ok cool, I just saw them thought they looked kickass and was wondering how they performed. Looks like either autometer, greddy or defi.

autometer is better than that brand sorry to say they look nice. Check out the new cobalt line of guages from autometer very nice stuff.

Re: Are these gauges any good? (tk)
hmm...did I ever say I was buying them because they looked good? NO...I said they looked cool and wanted to know how they perform, sorry brotha no rice here.
yea I saw the cobalt gauges and love em thats the series I was refering to when I stated autometer. boost gauges in that series is like 160 bucks and so is the egt I believe. Yet the A/F gauges is $70.

Re: Are these gauges any good? (foozball-26)
plain A/F guages are a waste of money...they are just for looks, and girls like the was the color LED's light up in the circle.
I love my guages, all I need to do is install them, but i need a turbo first.
