defi gauges have proven themselves to be very good.

You will need a Boost and EGT gauge for a turbo car. If you have a 3 gauge pillar last one is up to you

defi gauges are pretty good yeah, and for a turbo car the main ones you need are boost and voltage, egt isnt really needed, who cares how hot your exhaust gas is anyway...voltage is way more important and anyone who says differant is lying to you

Do you even know what an EGT does. Or do you just look at the acronym and say to yourself...self exhaust gas temps are lame

The gauges are great, but the control unit is weak. I bought a new set of bf series gauges and little a later the darn control unit fried on me. I sent it back for warranty replacement. It's been 4-5 months now and not hear from them.

Stay away from the Defi tachs though (at least the large "monster" tachs anyway). The needles tend to be very skitish and not very accurate.

I have the d series boost, and i love it. its mounted on my steering wheel, and matches the stock gauges perfect, and even lights up amber, and is very high quality. so thumbs up for the d gauges

"Defi is crap, waste of money" blah blah blah

Okay then, if you're going to say that then don't come on here bitching because your piece of **** mickey mouse tenzo R gauges blew out on you.

I happen to run five Defi gauges in my car, and they're nothing but good times. Sure their tach isn't the best, but it's okay my stock one does me well.
