Honestly though, im purchasing the autometer boost guage, i almost bought the apexi el, but i just couldn't get myself to pay double

auto meter has more experince making guages than anyone else. plus they've got a better set up, so they can sell them cheaper as well.

so far autometer is just fine for me (boost). they are just smaller than greddy and others, but its fine with me. oh yeah it cost me 20 bucks that helped too

For a mechanical unit I'd have no problem going Autometer but for an electrical unit, I'd go elsewhere. I'm just not impressed with Autometer's offerings when compared to their foreign counterparts.

I know you don't want to here it but I couldn't be happier with my Autometer setup. I see people all the time with the fancy expensive JDM gauges they seem to work just as good and IMO look just as good as my gauges look. I think I spent 3x as less as the next cheapest option was. I was very hesitant with the Autometer gauges at first as well. It's just something to think about.



If you really don't mind spending the money Greddy and Apexi are really-really nice.
