they look cheap as hell. I would just stick with some autometers and a gauge pod.

Not a bad deal at all. The air fuel guage is basically worthless but you can hook the oil pressure gauge to your turbo in and make sure you dont dont blow the seals at first. I'd get iot if I was just starting off but after you install the turbo you will wish you spent the money on something else. Only thing you really need is a boost guage.

. It measures 0-30 PSI of Boost and reads out 0-30 PSI of Vacuum
You can measure vaccum in PSI?

i am trying to keep it on a low buget but i still want to keep it nice true those gauges look cheap but 100 bucks for boost air fuel and oil with pod sounds like a deal i guess

for under $100 I would buy this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...962540417&rd=1

or this (its autogauge, just as good as autometer, my uncle always ran them in his race car)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...962522096&rd=1

even this is a good deal
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...962520392&rd=1

and a great deal on a oil pressure gauge
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...962506556&rd=1

another thing to think about...auto autozone/napa, wherever, they have a 3 gauge kit, oil, volt and water temps, for like $50. paint the cluster black, and go with that

look around some more and get something thats proven to be effective. for $100 you can buy some pretty nice gauges.

personaly i wouldn't use a pod... it just asking for someone to brake into the car.. i would get the one junkyard posted... but put them where they are kind of out of sight, but where you can see them.

Those are fine man. Your not gonna get a gauge that is SO off where you can't use it. If your on a budget, I say go for it.
