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.

So you say VDO is good for its price Ted? My boy runs a VDO boost in his 240.

The VDO is like $50.

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

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

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)
