i was looking for a little feedback on the prosport gauges. i need to replace my broken autometer boost gauge and i was wondering what the community had to say about them.

 

i have boost and oil.... barely ever work... the oil pressure unit is HUGE in the engine bay its so ugly..

 

how's the boost gauge?

 

I have had a volt meter from them for about 2.5years and love it. Works. Easy to hook up and I like the Blue/Red color. Theya re very well priced too. I have seen others on here using them successfully, so hopefully the chime in as well.

 

SoFlo your car is cursed so everything breaks on it no matter who its from! LOL

 

to me its decent, just have a digital EGT gauge from them though

 

not even lying.

 

I've had alot of issues with my prosport gauges. I've been through 3 or 4 pressure senders for my oil gauge and now it calibrates to 20 psi (so it doesn't go below 20 psi at idle).

But, they look cool and when i turn my lights on are the same color as my cluster.

 

Stay away from these gauges...

 

iv seen the prosport oil pressure gauges crap out. you get what you pay for on these. dont get me wrong they work but for how long do you want it to work is the question here.

 

I have installed countless gauges, these are the worst IMO. Sometimes the wiring instructions give you wire colors that arent existant on the gauge lol. They tend to be inaccurate as well as give out soon. Boost gauge I have seen as much as 5psi off.

For an inexpensive boost gauge I recommend this: http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...niversal%20Fit

 

I've also had problems with my oil pressure gauge

 

you're the reason i made this post. remember our phone convo?

 

prosport is pretty much same as glowshift

 

and with that i am against getting them now.

 

critical gauges i say stay away like boost gauge and wideband. And they not SO much cheaper the good ones

 

I have a boost gauge...haven't had any problems...although if you say you have seen them 5 lbs off that could explain why my kit never made the pressure it was designed for... hmmm

 

ooff

 

After reading this thread... just thought I'd toss a related question ^^ your guy's way...
Whether it's for a F/I or N/A setup... what brand gauges specifically would you recommend tC owners use where you get the best "bang for your buck" purchase? (personal experience with or heard via "professional" circles)
I'm sure lots of peeps reading this thread are thinking it so figured I'd just say it. lol.

 

all i ever use is aem gauges (not saying they are the best but they work well and iv just gotten used to em is all). iv had dealings with prosport, megan racing (yep they make gauges), autometer.

prosport gauges dont seem to last long (though iv only viewed that with two of thier oil pressure gauges)

megan racing work quit well (boost that is) however they read roughly 1psi less. (viewed that while using a greddy b-spec II) so it could have been the greddy unit..not sure

auto meter boost gauge is pretty much the same as megan racing as far as performance wise.

aem are decent enough gauges, they do not perform like the cheap gauges iv stated above. sooooo much better as far as reading and accuracy. not the best on the market but imho they are the best bang for your buck.
