if i could do it over again id be using vdo vision series. they look ultra clean and seem to be very well built. my dad has them in his car, and they seem to work real well

i have autometer phantom gauges in mine, and the boost gauge doesnt settle at 0..just seems cheap

Autometer's are good for the basics...oil pressure, water temp, oil temp, rpm. Their boost gauges suck big time, mine's always off by at least 8 psi compared to what my vafc tells me, and all my friend's a-m boost guages have been off to some degree as well.

i like the look of them and they are either red, green, or blue too. then find some other digital guages that match nicely.

I hate having gauges. They distract from a clean interior, but since boost is kinda neccesary and so is oil pressure I got the glow ---- gauges of ebay. They are cheap and more accurate than my autometers. They are a little hard to read in the daytime though because they are tinted.


This is what I have in my EK except I have an oil pressure gauge instead of the volt meter.
