it seems like a bunch of people are buying STRI gauges, but there is not a whole lot of feedback on them as far as issues, or just people being happy with them. So here is mine:

Gauges Bought:
Boost
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp

Model: DSD SLMII

Installation was nice and easy, looks like very nice gauges, well build. The wiring is nice and looks pro.

I installed them in December. Everything worked fine.
Had the car tuned, and the boost reading on the gauges is perfect. Right on the money when checked vs the dyno boost reading.

The oil pressure started screwing up once in a while when it would think that the zero was at 40psi. To resolve the problem, I would have to shut down the car, and restart and then it would work fine. It would do it once a week or every couple weeks. I sent it back for a warranty exchange.

The oil Temp started to screw up a couple last week when the needle just go between 40 and 180 degree for no reason. I have to send this one back for warranty exchange also.

I am wondering if people are having issues or if I am just unlucky...
i have the boost gauge of this model and right out of the box the sensor to the gauge was bad. it would stay at 0 the whole time. i was so pissed, but they took care of me on it and sent a new one right out to me
