Choosing the right GAUGE! PLEASE GUYS!

Hey guys! I know that their are tons of threads like this, but I can't seem to find a recent thread of there. Please take a few minutes of your time.
I am going to purchase these gauges as soon as possible.Wonder what is the better and accuracy. I was thinking about these gauge:

Stri Boost and Stri oil pressure
Stewart Warner boost and oil pressure
Prosport boost and oil pressure

I know DEFI are great but, not will spending the money for it. What are also some good gauges!

Which is better for the money!

Thanks guys!

Probably the Prosport IMO, because i hadit before and it's a bit more accurate then the Stewart one for sure.

If you want a really good one, very accurate, but a little more money, i would get the Defi one. That's probably one of the best gauges you can get out there. I have the Defi one right now along with other ones and it's amazing!!!! I love it!
Well, that's just my opinion. Others will give theres and there preferences.

My wife's Prosport boost gauge is more accurate than my Defi. Both are very nice looking gauges, but when comparing the price I just can't imagine putting Defi's in another car.

Save up and get some DEFI full sweep guages. Do it right the 1st time, and never have to worry about it again.

i have the stri boost gauge and oil pressure on order, got em off a buddy with a turbo lude, worked great and has the black out face. with that said im getting the innovative db wideband. defi is "defi" overpriced imho. prosport are pretty decent
hope this helps

OEM manufacturer for a lot of the Euro automakers, including BMW and VW.

Running a STACK boost gauge myself. Accurate and response very fast. Can't go wrong with a manufacturer the makes professional grade racing instrumental...

you can not go wrong with STRI guages! I have all 3 boost/oil temp. & EGT. I got them in 60mm black face with amber lights to match our speedo and for the boost i got it with the 40psi. you can contact Import Image Racing the are our local vendor and the owner Josh gets his hands dirty so you know they do their work GL

p.s. here check them out they help me out a ton! http://www.importimageracing.com

I have prosport boost and WB and they work great.

Also, customer service is great. I received my WB damaged (the back of the gauge was crushed). I didn't notice this until I had already put the wiring harness, control box, and 02 sensor in the car. I contacted them and they sent a replacement gauge, no questions asked. I didn't even have to return the wiring harness or original packaging.
