I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Prosport gauges and these more are negative than positive. I have seen plenty fitted and the look great but I have never worked with any. What I can say is that I fitted a Depo gauge to a mate's car today and the quality of the gauge and all of the sensors was spot on. Great wiring and the only complaint was that the main harness for power/lights was quite short and I needed to extend it

I have prospost gauges in my Scooby.. No complaints or problems with them..
Don't buy from the us as you will face paying import tax and they won't be a cheap as you thought..

Prosport premium's fitted in mine, Oil temp gauge never worked out of the box, Was replaced FOC and all was good then the Boost sensor failed after 6 months, scoobyparts supplied a new sensor and has never been any issue since. Oil pressure has jammed twice for some bizarre reason. other than that cant complain they've been fine since. Cant help but get the feeling about buying something better

We have a Prosport boost gauge in our demo car, no complaints always worked as it should but we will be upgrading to better gauges with the overhaul of the interior and engine build.
Only thing i have noticed is boost warning is set at 24psi iirc and the gauge reads 23psi 98% of the time then gives the warning for over boosting to about 25/26psi randomly. Now i know we are boosting around 1.3 bar so its definetly out as its around 19psi

Got 3x prosport stepper, the oil pressure sender was d.o.a when installed but was replaced quickly and foc. Unfortunately the oil pressure guage soon gave up and had to be replaced aswell. Other than that I really like them but will be looking to upgrade when a decent set catch my eye.

3x Prosport gauges here too, no problems at all, defi are the best but they cost way too much for my taste, and i have heard of problems with them too, so even they are not all 100% perfect, and at £700+ i'd rather have a toucan and get loads more gauges and functions.

I've got 3 Prosport Steppers in my car, had them in for about 6 months now and they've been spot on. Just make sure you wire them in well, solder the joints and give enough slack on the wires from the senders etc so when the engine moves slightly it doesn't cause any issues.
I got mine from Rspec and it was top service.

I've got 3 x prosport premium gauges. Ordered them direct from Taiwan as it was cheaper.
No problems to start with, although they are pretty noisy and hard to see in sunlight but after a year they are starting to play up:
Boost gauge occasionally massively overreads on hard acceleration. (Did it when mapping so i know it was the gauge miss-reading. It also constantly over-reads by about 0.1bar)
One of the backlights has gone on oil temp gauge so that needs replacing.
I won't be replacing them with more prosports.
