Default gauge help

So I know what kind of gauges I want, however I'm having a hard time picking what brand I want. What are most of you using? I'm looking autometer.com but theres a million different choices. I want one that looks good and I'll be able to see easily.

you'll be able to see them all just fine.

You want bling or cheap?

I ran Defi gauges in my Z and they were SCHWEET.

what do you need the gauges for? IMO, without forced induction of any kind, gauges are kinda unnecessary.

My turbo kit from inline pro should be here hopefully next week. Air/fuel ratio, boost, oil pressure are what I'd like. I really don't need it to be crazy looking, but I don't mind spending the money if that is what it takes.

A lot of people would like to know what their engine is doing "right now" instead of relying on an idiot light to tell them if their oil is low or your alternator is not putting out the proper amps.

Check out this thread on Prosport gauges. Defi bling without the Defi price. I have been eyeing these for a while. Just waiting 'til I get some $ I don't know what to do with. Might be a while.

I said I'd give an update once the gauges where installed. I've been running them for a week not and they look great but do not seem to be working very good. The oil pressure gauge usually sits at 100psi and the a/f ratio is always all over the place.

That sucks to hear that. Any other feed back? I hope it was just factory defects and NOT a characteristic of these gauges because I was really looking forward to getting some.
