Default Who makes reliable gauges? Autometer, Stewart Warner?

Who besides Autometer makes decent gauges? I want a decent EGT and boost gauge, but I don't care to spend $100 for a gauge. I don't care if it's ugly, I just want reliable at the cheapest price I can get.

I'm running prosport boost, oil temp and oil pressure and been using them for over 2 years. there great. never had a problem with them and I am using the peak/warning ones. these gauges don't bounce around like the other gauges I have used. the sweep is very smooth and precise. I like them

Autometer Sport Comp and Ultra light were fine, Defi (though not the D-series), Omori (there were a lot of OEM applications using those) Greddy, and Garrett (yes, they make guages too.)

The most reliable readings come from mechanical guages but some people are nervous about running an oil into the cabin... I'm going manual for Boost, and oil pressure, water temp oil temp egt and WBO2 are all electonic.

Oh and I've got all autometer stuff... they're really nice and I know plenty of people who have been using their guages for more than 10 years without any problems at all.

I've been running Autometer Ultralight for years now Works well for me. I wouldn't say they're the coolest looking gauges but whatever, I got them back when carbon fiber was SO COOL and now I don't want to have to replace them all just to look stylish
