I have autometers and they get the job done....sure they're a bitch to deal with but whatever man...u can't beat the damn price.

Personally though i wanted a greddy gauge...specifically the electronic warning series ones. But i live in canada and good sources are hard to find.

 

For that much, I'd go GReddy mechanical.
The VDO is like $50.

Wow, if the VDO is that cheap I think i might look into it. So they are more accurate than Autometers right?

 

For boost gauges, yes.
I've seen Autometer boost gauges as off as 2 to 3 psi.
VDO is made in Germany.
Germany makes some pretty good products.

Cool. Thinking of getting then if you refer that then DefiD boost.
"For Boost yes"? What about A/F do they make an A/F gauge and is it accurate? Thanks Ted, you the man

 

Allaround i have the DefiD boost gauge and i got with not even plugged in reading 3 psi i personally dont like it i like autometer.. so tell me man how much will you let your guages go for and which gauges you got?

No, VDO does not make an AFR gauge, that I know of.
Oh, the terms "AFR gauge" and "accuracy" should not be used in the same sentence.
The narrow-band 0-1V O2 sensor in inherently inaccurate when talking about linear output.
I typically just use the "cheapie" Cyberdyne / Intellitronix / Nordskog / Summit Racing AFR gauge that's $30 - $45. These are 10-LED units and enough resolution for my needs.

If you want more resolution, the 20LED Autometer one is not bad.

For even higher resolution, Haltech makes their 30LED Halmeter for $150!

i have a brand new, only in my FC for a month, 20LED A/F guage, and an almost new boost gauge. They are both Grey/silver and 52mm. Had others but sold them to friends.
So your Defi is reading 3psi not plugged in? Was it ever plugged in? What color? Got pics? Let me know

 

how much for the A?f Gauge and Boost Gauge?? i got a DefiD boost gauge and DefiD EGT gauge and the egt one gives me a good reading but i placed it a little to close to the turbo so it gives me a false reading and the boost gauge is right now plugged into my car and while accelerating to boost instead of going into the boost readings it goes into the vacuum readings and when you let it sit at idle says im boosting 5 psi =/

Iam thinking of screwing gauges and Getting a Blitz SBCiD. Dunno if I should. Does the APEXi AVCR show real time boost? If so is it accurate?
Hahahahah Ive posted "accurate" in almost all my posts, LOL

 

theres nothing more "ACCURATE" or more PIMP than this http://www.rotaryaviation.com/EM2.htm little pricy but still its very accurate and replaced a mess of gauges...

so allaround how much for your 2 gauges? or you wanna hook em for free =P
TwEaK

 

So you say your Defi is broke or what?

 

Yes, AVC-R can display boost in real-time.
Ghost trace is cool.
It can also do scrolling graph, numerical, and single point 2-axis, and gauge displays...


-Ted

 

not shure if its broken or what personally dont think it is but i just wanna get rid of it i think it was just connected wrong by the previous owner i dont like DEFI so im trying to take me out of my car... =/

Got pics?

 

I have an Apexi Boost gauge and LOVE it! I would buy another in a heart beat, I love the peak hold function and the quality is way better than autometer. My other three gauges are autometer CF series for water and oil temp and oil pressure. they look good and serve their purpose. The autometers are as accurate as you will need on the street and have preformed flawlessly for me.

But...........my apexi gauge cost as much as all 3 autometers together lol

 

Your gauge is faulty, have it replaced. D Gauge is mechanical boost gauge which not connected should show 0 (zero)

 

I had an HKS boost gauge in my old TII and it was badass

 

Do the D-Gauges come with their own sender units? Or do we have to buy some kind of head unit too? Because 129 dollars for an EGT is a very good price.

 

Defi D-Gauge EGT comes with own sender, pretty much same probe like Greddy.

 

the Defis glow orange like stock right?
