I have a greddy 60mm w/ peak & hold. I love how the greddy gauges light up at night. The peak hold and warning features rock!

I've got the Autometer C2 series, uses a MAP sensor, very accurate, (as long as you wire it correctly).
I also Use the C2 Pyronmeter (EGT).
I'll be buying the water temp and fuel pressure soon.
They look very cool with the blue led lighting. I just need to get a seperate dimmer for them, very bright at night.

haven't there been people on the boards saying hte omoris are inaccurate?

autometer is pretty cheap in price but i think i'll be going with greddy simply because of the peak and warning features. it's nice to be able to push yer gauge face and see what max boost you were hitting. and the warning feature is good on everything from boost to a/f to pressures and temps, much better setup. just wish greddy came in backlight colors that matched the evo.

scratch that, they come in amber, the silver ones come in amber, so you can get black gauges and amber replacement bulbs.

just replaced all of the plastic vac line with copper line for my Autometer mechanical Ultra Lite vac/boost gauge, absolutely love it, one thing that I have found is that if you over tighten the gauge in its mounting cup it will through off your readings quite a bit, best thing to do is make sure vehicle is shut down and then play with the tightness of the mounting cup until the gauge is zeroed out, anyone else have this problem?

anyone know if you can get an autometer data link type setup? i kno wthey have these warning light race panels... do you have to use the panel or can you just scrap it and do your own install? also they don't have warning on the important things like egt, anyone know anything? or shall i just go defi or greddy.

do the defi d series (the 52mm) gauges come with a warning light?

for the defi bf series gauges series gauges are the prices including all hardware and sensors? i as because there are a lot of hidden costs buying greddy, you have to buy all the peak hold sensors seperately, most are 80 dollars or more, this makes the cost of a complete working gauge more than 300 a pop.

AutoMeter Phantom Boost Gauge (PIECE OF CRAP)
If you want accuracy at a good price go with Defi. I just got one on-line for $80, new and it rocks. It even compliments my OEM gauges (aestetically). No real beef with Autometer...you get what you pay for (mine stuck...often, but what do you expect for $40?)
