Defi Gauges are the way to go, dead on accurate. Expensive and worth every penny!

I have a Stri boost gauge and I hate that POS. I didn't want to pay the 200+ for the Defi gauge but I'm going too now .

Defi gauges all the way. I've used Autometer and they are junk. I've seen problems with STRi which shouldnt be ening for the price you pay, I've seen ProSports fail and how shotty their sending units are. I've never seen a Defi gauge fail. I run the Defi BF gauges in my Sentra and they are so sick. I never have to worry whether they are calibrate or not. You simply cannot get a better gauge. I you really care about your car/engine you'd think one would run gauges that are proven.

These gauges are a total joke lol. They had a booth at SEMA last year and it was clearly Taiwan knock off of Defi. I wouldn't trust the readings on those with my life. Just another sad story of a super high quality product being knocked off and made cheap as fuck where they can trick most consumers to thinking they are getting something quality when they aren't.
You wonder why their name is so similar to Defi and they look so similar, because they know Defi products are so high quality and so sought after that they can trick people to make money.
Same bullshit goes on with Tomioka, they simply knocked off everything Tomei makes.

I have crap gauges as well. I've run a few different brands, and every oil pressure gauge I get... the sending unit blows up spilling precious oil out of it. Crap.

I gave up and disconnected the oil pressure gauge. I'll buy another eventually, but for now I don't really care.

I'd spend good money if I could get parts that didn't break, so I could spend more time having fun with my car. Rather than always working on it.
