Gauge install

Howdy

As you all know I am retarded when I try to do something to my Evo by myself.

I have been wanting to get a new stereo for a while now, and while I am at it I want to move it down to the relocation kit to install some gauges where it is now.

I really liked the prosport gauges but have been researching em and people seem to hate em.. I dont wanna drop the $$ for defi. I am a ***** and like the glow effect but also dont want to waste my $$

So few question
Any other affordable and cosmetically appealing gauges that ring a bell?
Who (if any) would be interested in helping me install the gauges? I already have the 9 cluster and I would be doing Boost/oil tep/ unknown (but def not AFR) - already have my AFR on steering wheel.

Once i lock down what I want Ill order em, but wondering if anyone knows what they are doing and will be down to help

I've had my prosport gauges now for about a year. No complaints here either. For the money they are a decent gauge

Ive had autometer, greddy, and aem analog gauges. I like both the AEM and Greddy gauges. The AEM's give you a 0-5v output I'm working on the scaling to run to the ECU in the MDP and Rear o2 sensor for boost and wideband respectively.

Seriously guy, save up and buy something other than prosport. AEM's are nice for the price.

Cheap junk imo. They may work "ok" but Id seriously question their accuracy. If you have a 3bar sensor and just want something you can look at on the fly I guess they'd work.
