Default A Gauging Dilemma

I've wanted to get some more gauges for my M99 STI, and to replace my Faulty Apexi Boost.

I've found a garage which can fit them.

But the problem is which gauges.

I'm on Xyberautos now. And have seen the Prosport set (Boost, Oil Temp and Pressure)

And the set by DYNAMYX RACING. I just need your opinion really on which are more accurate. I know the Defi's are the ultimate ones to get, but just can't afford them. Or any other good ones you have seen.

I'm using a adapter for the Oil Pressure and the blank under the intercooler on piston 3.

Now if I'm going to get them, whats the correct reading for oil pressure and temp. I think the Oil temp should be around 88 from reading a previous post.

I've heard that the Prosprt are really slow???

Oil pressure: 6-7 bar cold on tickover, 2 bar hot, 5-6 bar running hot.

Oil temperature: mine runs 90-92 degrees.

Cheers I'll note that and keep a record of it.

Would you say these are decent gauges, what would you reccommend?

Prosport ones seem to get a good rep on here.

Yer I've heard that and they the ones I'm tending to go for, but I've heard that they are rather sluggish.

Weather thats true or not I don't know.
