I've had mine for 1 year and can honestly say they are faultless. look stunning and seem spot on for accuracy. Come really nicely packaged with everything you could need for installation etc. great gauges. Oh and if you email them on ebay they will do you a deal on the 3 straight through paypal

Do they come with a universal fitting kit? As on ebay the boost gauge says mk6/7 golf only, i messaged them to make sure and they back up their statement.
I did find an english website selling them though, was about £260 for all three.

Okay great i will do, cant wait to get these, in my last scoob i had prosport gauges and they were okay but always looked and sounded a bit cheap, and were overly loud.
The HDI's look awesome.

I dont mind where they come from, but theres definatley an english website selling them, unless they drop ship from china or oz, but the postage is reasonable

Hi there
From personal experience,what fails on most gauges are sensors,some sensors are not up to job,like Fuel pressure which is not fit for purpose,when you are using methanol,most of sensors are not E85 friendly and they can and will fail.
I know we are tried few and we are went via few like on Honda or Subaru,on Subaru we are used Tim@JT Innovation AEM sensor which has failed after few months,but after Tim replaced for E85 friendly sensor we are never ever have any issue
On cheaper gauges you will get those cheap pressure sensors(oil and fuel pressure) which are rubbish,we are went via 4 of them on Honda as they don't like the meth at all.
And DeFi they're OK when everything is working,when sensors starting to fail,be prepare to spend on them,what usually fails on DeFi is wiring on pins which can result of frying the controller,which has happen to us and lastly,those sensors can be used with Syvecs or any other aftermarket ECU,we are used them on Syvecs without the issue
We are now have fitted M7 gauges which seems are OK,those gauges are very similar to DeFi sensors are pretty much like DeFi(3 wire sensor and not like on those cheap you will get 2 wire sensor)
We are have previously Shadow gauges which has been OK too,but really depends on budget etc
Torque Pro is good,but this doesn't display the oil pressure,oil temp etc,yes will display the boost
Hope this helps
Thanks,Jura
