Gauges - Recommendations
 
I would like to get some good gauges for my turbo setup but I would like them to be backlit at nite. I'm looking at these OBX gauges on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...473307372&rd=1) I want to know if they're any good? Does autometer have a line of gauges that are backlit? What is everyone's recommendations

I have an OBX boost gauge its been working pretty good for me , but the brass fittings it comes with did nothing for me i would go to vato zone and get a fitting for the end of the hose.

Autometer does make those backlit gauges. They are called the "lunar" series. I've never had obx gauges, but I would hope they make them better than thier manifolds. :-X

dood I don't think you can use the word good and obx in the same sentence? If you want the pimp ---- try omori metershttp://www.omorimeter.com/52mm_boost.htm Not exactly backlight but at least you can trust the reading!

yeah I've heard OBX sucks in everything. I know I had an OBX short shifter, ha, I broke THREE of them until the company didn't want to send me any more of their crapy shifters. I have autometer gauges, their nice.

na, i can't see below about 1200 rps, but i mean really the only time it's that low is at idle and i don't think anybody needs a tach to tell if there ---- is idling fucked up. i can't see the 'C' on my temp gauge either, and that's very important :'(
