    Im looking around for some gauge options.. looking for a nice, electrical boost gauge, and maybe an oil pressure gauge that comes with a sender. Red to match my Aeroforce and dash.

    Im not too crazy about the way the options on ZZP look. I looked at some other AutoMeter stuff, they seem crazy expensive... the one boost gauge was like $300 some places, Amazon wants like $180.. like wtf that's almost as much as the Aeroforce.

    I was planning on buying some ProSport ones, I was looking at their "evo" line, but Im reading they're pretty horribly inaccurate, and their analog gauges are just generally garbage. I also read a long forum post from an ex-employee what a horrible business they are.... so I feel not great about that now.

    Just looking for some suggestions on brands with decent pricing... just something that will look nice with the AF and dash, 52mm.

    Speedhut.

    They have some slick gauges, which are customizable and the prices are nice.

    I've run 2 glowshift oil pressure gauge. The newest digital one I've got now and I like it even though its just a gauge will cool numbers. I needed one to fill the pillar pod.

    I actually really like the way GlowShift looks, I think they're exactly what I was looking for, thanks ffdp.

    I was all set to buy from Prosport, but I heard their return rate is over 40%, and they have serious accuracy problems.
    There's also a forum post on a subaru forum from a guy who claims to be an ex-employee where he tells the whole story about his relationship with them, and what a grade A douche and cheapskate the owner is. So I decided not to go there.

    AEM Makes some damn fine gauges. Very expensive but noone comes close in quality IMO.

    Always run autometer. But glowshift have good boost gauge but it runs up to 30 lb boost that's to big of a increment. That's y I want my autometer
