Default Have a couple questions.

Ok I need to get a boost gauge for my car Im looking at this one.

Is this the same color as the stock STi gauge?
If I were to buy this gauge I would need to buy another gauge but am clueless on which other one to get, possibly af gauge.
If I were to buy these could somebody help me put it on Im retarded when it comes to electrical I will also buy you lunch or give money whatever works.

I think they would match, I hope they do cuz I want them too. I would get fuel pressure, oil pressure, or EGT. You know you have to get the Defi control box right? If you need some help wiring it I'm down as long as I can get a ride

Haha damn man I really dont like spending 500 dollars on gauges. I saw beavers CF apillars and was like I have to have them and Ive needed a boost gauge Im always down to give anyone a ride or ever meet up with any scoobies. Do you know if there are any other brands with the same amber red color possibly cheaper

You could get some Autometers and put red LEDs in them

the autometers come with red or green condome to slide over the lights... i would recomend against them.

2 most importand gauges are a boost gauge and a EGT gauge. dont be cheap about your EGT gauge. do it right.
