buying advice for gauges?

[Monty_e]

Guys,

I thought I'd go out and pick up some VDO gauges (EGT & boost) from some local auto dealers this morning, but could find VDOs for sale and the only Saas gauges at Supercheap don't seem to have EGT.

I've been searching the forum for a bit and can't seem to find people's recommendations for:

A. A good brand, AND

B. A suitable dealer.

$600 odd bucks for pillar mounts and gauges seems a bit steep to me - has anyone else got some ideas?

Thanks heaps - then newbie!

Gauge wise buy the best you can afford, I have pillar pod, its ok ,out of the way. but not many options

I went with Autron gauges. They look great and do the job. Some like them, some don't.

Threedogs - what brand are the gauges?

[Monty_e]

Megomonster - are your gauges an LCD? They look real flash and with good contrast. How do you find them in the sun?
