some assistance with gauges

hov333 · 12-12-2007, 12:27 PM

I'm looking at buying some boost and oil temp gauges for the 335. I've heard that an accurate guage is essential. The thing is that Defi looks beautiful but is really expensive so i'm opting with these. They're by Prosport. Can anyone recommend this company? Any recommendations in general? I want to stay with an amber and get something thats not overly ricey looking. btw i really like the whole opening sequence that gauges like prosport and defi have.

I thought he was wondering how are what he provided the link for.

jpsimon · 12-12-2007, 01:37 PM

oh, well i still say pony up for the Defi's

Not bad at all. I like Defi's better but these are certainly worth looking at.
Nice price too!

imaznumkay · 12-12-2007, 02:25 PM

defi's certainly the best...but from what i read on evolutionm.net, prosport seems to be very reliable, and cheap..

Defi's are definitely worth the money, but they require a control unit to run the gauges unlike the prosports.

Prosport knows...look at their ads: "We Don't Need No Stinkin' Controller"

The bigger question is "where you gonna put that gauge?" and not which one to buy

I'll either put them on the pillar, or to avoid the ricer look I may go with figuring out a way to fit them between the two humps (between the speedo hump and the navi hump). Which is the more common size to use 52mm or 60mm?

Acap14 · 12-12-2007, 09:16 PM

i have that gauge, i havent gotten it working properly yet due to a bad sender unit. but my boy has it in his speed6 and he loves it, its really nice unit if it read the correct boost(bad sender unit)

IIRC, the pillar was out due to the curtain airbag.

I'm waiting for the vent mount to come out personally
