finally a response im looking for. Yes i was wondering if other vendors were selling it for 305 shipped. But i guess i got a good deal.
And to those who are hating, i spent 35k on a car, im not going to go cheap on a boost gauge, which by the way is only 220. Like someone else said, almost matches our interior not to mention playback and whatnot with the control unit. please don't hate. And in life, you do get what you pay for, you guys will learn the hard way.

Wow I just cant stomach 305 dollars for a gauge that provides nothing more than asthetics to the car, heck my SW lights up red and provides the same perf. but hey to each its own I guess? Party on man....
btw You paid $5 more for a boost gauge minus the pod! than I just did for my used buschur catback, oh no used exhaust on a 35k car...oh the humanity!
sorry just had to throw some sarcasim into this, its my nature.......

I beg to differ..
Granted they are all gauges.. but if you are going for budget racer style then Defi isn't for you. Its like comparing Suits and sports coats.. You want Gucci or Men's wearhouse's stuff??
please look closely on Defi gauges and compare Autometer gauges. You can tell the differences in terms of the quality in material used and the design. Does Autometer gauge comes w/ free gauge mount with each gauge? I know Defi BF series does

sorry, people are different right? I never have and never will do USED. I'm not rich, just that I don't like "used" items. Do you want your future g/f or wife to be "used", hahahhaa just an analogy~anyway good for you going with buschur.

Why are you going cheap on a boost guage? The AEM is only $1800 and you can get the 6 bar MAP to go with it so that you can log boost. Dude your cheaping out and your gonna blow your poor car up. Your going to learn the hard way.

I prefer Mens wearhouse stuff but I am cheap 
Its a great price, go for it...I love the Defi units and if I had the money I would get it myself. But for now the autometer $50 gauge will work for me.

I really don't think it's even the look or quality of the gauge that matters that much it's the features that matter. A gauge without warning is close to useless. If I'm driving on the streets paying attention to the road I wouldn't notice the oil pres gauge drop out of the corner of my eye. But if I had a defi or another brand that would send a warning and visually tell me something is wrong, I would immediately be notified and pull over and save the motor on it's last leg.

Youc an use the other 250 for an intake or somethign usefull.
i paid a lot for my map sensor and zeitronix setup... is that a waste of money? cuz it's funny... that's the only real way to monitor your boost accurately... hmph....hmph....
