    Who where is running Glowshift gauges in their GTP's? I've been looking at there stuff for a little while sure, and not sure if i should pull the trigger and buy the gauges I want to buy.

    The problem is, their really damn cheap, and usually with low prices, the product usually turns out to be complete junk. what I wanna know, is if anybody here has been using them for a long period of time, if they've held up, work good and arn't just a waste of money. I'm trying to buy stuff on a solid tight budget, and don't wanna shell out hundreds of dollars on gauges that are junk, or high end top of the line stuff. I just want to keep an eye on some engine parameters.

    And yes. I know people are just gonna say "aeroforce this, aeroforce that" I am getting an aeroforce. Just not right now.

    Looking for any and all reviews. Thanks in advance

    Well my gauges of choice would be: Boost, Water Temp, and Oil Pressure (just cause) Alongside a Wideband and Aeroforce. Had a guy on facebook tell me about the ScangaugeII, which is cool, but the aeroforce does the same thing, and has more scanable parameters if i'm not mistaken +data logging (which i doubt i'll use)

    I just wanna know if the Glowshift gauges are worth it, or if they just suck period. I've read alot of mixed reviews, and wanna hear from gp guys.

    Its a nice looking gauge. I have it.

    Comparing the readings with my aeroforce, I noticed the reading on my glowshift is about a 1psi less than my aeroforce reads. Boost gauges are almost pointless anyway its just for show.

    I had the oil pressure gauge from glowshift and it was great. Only complaint was the needle sweep was a little noisy but no biggy

    I have their boost and oil pressure gauges. The boost gauge isn't zeroed right and as for the oil pressure I'm on my second sending unit. I've had them a good 4 years now I think. No real complaints with as cheap as they are. I'm wanting to go with some better gauges eventually though.

    I think i'll just invest in some good quality gauges, and whenever i get another car I can use them in it, or sell them.
