What gauges did you get?

I know theres a bunch of gauges threads, but they're mostly for location/mounting. I'm still not set on a certain gauge, however I think I might end up getting Prosport Premium peak gauges. Great quality (friend has them in his Evo) and they're not too expensive (like Uegos or Defi). So have it. Post pictures of your gauges, on, ign, off. And give some feedback on build quality, ease of install, etc. Post some pics of the gauges you picked.
No AutoMeter.
Here's the Boost/Oil pressure I'm considering

Well, you need a Wideband and the best bang for your buck is the AEM UEGO.. that's what I have... as well as (I know I know) Autometer...
If you're going with electrical gauges, make sure they come with the correct sender units. My oil pressure gauge is electrical, but has a pressure sender that's tapped into my oil line.

What's wrong with Autometer? They are inexpensive and they get the job done. I don't see what the problem is.

They're crap. They break easily, are inaccurate, the needles bounce when you hit bumps...They're nice gauges to get if you don't actually NEED gauges for warning purposes...but other than that, I'd like something that's much more stable and actually warns me when there is an issue (hence the reason I'm looking at the Propsort Premium Peaks).
I honestly love the blue defi gauges when it comes to looks no doubt.. but when it comes to functions aem gauges got my vote.. uego 6 in 1, truboost boost gauge and controller, oil pressure may also be fuel pressure..
^ Go with the STRI gauges. Look just like Defi, but a little less expensive.
And those things with the Autometer Gauges, I don't have that with my boost gauge. And it reads the 7PSI with my S/C. I think it's $50 well spent.

they're actually about same price as aem gauges.. its just a matter of preference.. i do wanna see more tcs with all 3 defi gagues, the main reason i got aem is that their wideband is highly recommended and rated accurate so i decided to get all 3 to match.. havent heard anything bad about defi gauges though, maybe you can use same sensor as aem to your defi wideband?

i havent really noticed any warning sounds yet as i havent pushed the car to the limit not sure though or maybe im just too focused with other concerns like trying not to blow the engine hahaha
I don't think so. There is either the boost gauge shown in my pic, or the TRUboost gauge. Both work really well especially the AFR. Never use the stock 02 sensor, it's crap + crappy readings haha. And yes I hekka went outside to snap some shots, then got carried away and went driving.
