Cool Advice on Which Guages ?

Could anyone assist me in purchasing my first set of white faced 52mm guages ?. Im looking for AFR and a (-5 to +2 Bar) boost guage but dont want to pay daft DEFI money with the controller etc. I feel I dont need the oil pressure/oil temp at this stage of my tuning carreer so im looking for some advice and costs of where to get hold of a quality set with senders and an associated "A" pillar mount for my 03 WRX! Photo's would also be very helpful.
Cheers

When i was looking at gauges a few years back i saw that without doubt the Defi range was imo the best there was/is. So thats what i brought.
Now if you do decide to go down the Defi route and don't want to pay for the BF range (Link Controller) then i'd choose the D-gauges.
I see from there site that there actually discontinued now. However you might be lucky to find one or two dealers with some in stock.

Have a look at the link Shows the D gauges. You never know being the end of the line you might get a good deal.

I'm in the same position.
But i do want the oil temp gauge so as i know when i'm able to use full throttle.
The temp gauge already on your car is the water temprature, the oil takes alot
longer to get to full operating temp.

I'm looking at the Stealth gauges from here www.gaugeshop.co.uk

Yep, about another 10 minutes at least. And remember it's just not the engine oil your heating up here. Gearbox and diff are often forgotten.
