Well one of the first things i want to do to my celica is fit a boost, and oil temp gauge but i just cant find any that are a reasonable price. At the moment im looking at £100 a gauge for hks,blitz,apexi stuff. My question is... do you have to get an expensive gauge? Ive seen autogauges working and they seem very good but ive got Legacy turbo in my ear saying how inaccurate it will be. I honestly cant see that a slightly cheaper gauge would through off a reading by little let alone alot. Opinions? Im looking to run 1.1bar at 320hp by the end of this year! |

enough people use autogauge gauges and they've been the leading maker in the market for longer than some companies have been making them. i'm using autogauge myself, i paid £60 for 3 gauges and delivery. gaugeman does the same ones for £75 iirc, so its still alot cheaper than defi, hks, greddy etc. |

Yeah the autogauge ones and the swoosh ones are really good in terms of value for money compared the HKS, BLitz ones! At the end of the day they take a reading and convey it on a display It's not that technical. But you pay mofre for branding and build quality - autogauge make the best of both worlds and still provide affordable gauges! However DO avoid the really cheap ones, I bought mine from Hongkong, some ebay cheapies, i've had nothing but problems and im pretty sure that they definately do not give accurate results!!! Im gunna replace them with some of gaugemans ones! |

Gaugemans sorted me out with some Stealth Autogauges and all the nessecary wiring. They look good and the reviews are fantastic!

Not trying to steal the post mate but i don't think it really matters. I have autogauge ones from gauge place. I got them because they are all black when they are turned off. They are as accurate as my Apexi PFC ECU controller so i am guessing they are bang on.![]() ![]()
