they seem a bit too cheap,remember they need to be accurate as much as possible.

i use depo gauges same as a few others on here

I agree with shrek there is no point in fitting gauges unless they are accurate that defeats the object.SJ.

The daddy of gauges will always be DEFI that's why they cost so much,but they are 100% accurate and they make you pay for that quality.I also hear good things about the prosports and the depo gauges so you would not go far wrong buying dials from any of these other brands.SJ.

Have sent them a message about these as they don't appear to list a 52mm boost gauge in bar

these gauges are fine bud. i had a set in my classic wagon and were accurate according to what andy f told me my wagon was boosting to when he mapped it. they do sell the 52mm gauges in bar as thats what i had. mine were blue and looked really nice. they are stepper motors as well and do the opening and closing sweep too.

I've got a set of the 52mm stepper ones in green for my '05, the green is a bit bright compared to the dash so i tend to leave them on white (wired to change colour with the bright switch on the stalk) but they've been spot on in the couple of years i've had them fitted.

I found the peak recall function to be handy for oil temp when on track so for me worth it over cheaper 'dumb' gauges

I Personally cant justify the cost of Defi's, Yes there bloody good but if i spent that much, id be single now lol

Try these mate, heard there "the best of the rest" and come with all the thing's to fit them.

Prosport 52 (Or 60m if you prefer them a bit bigger) Stepper (Peak Series)

Even do the Defi sweep as well.

Ill be getting some once the bank account has recoverd in the new year. Also a thumb's up for Scoobyworx, they will keep you right

Apparently 0.15 out on boost. I got them myself so I hope I'm wrong but then again my peak is 1.8 bar mapped at 1.5- 1.6.... Can it be all the cold weather?
