    I am looking at getting a set of prosport gauges. I wanted to know who here is running them and do you like them? Also should I buy the Prosport Performance or the Prosport Premium with peak and warning?

    Thanks....

    I had the 60MM Prosport Premium in my car. They were ok and worked well but were kind of dim during the day. I still have the boost and EGT gauges if you are interested:)

    FTZ ^.^

    I also have a Prosport Boost and Oil Temp or Pressure Gauge, not sure which ones. I have the Amber/White ones, if you are interested. Will sell cheap.

    Same for me I have the boost gauge and it matches the cars gauges pretty good. The start up is loud but Ive gotten use to it.

    I have never used them personally so I cannot say. However, from what I've read people like them for their features at their price point.

    They are ok for the money. But I would advise against the oil pressure gauge......never had any luck with their oil pressure senders and neither did 4 of my buddies. They would work for 6-8 months and then act erratic.

    Define erratic? My defi oil sender likes to move around sometimes however when I asked WJM about it last he thought it was a normal reflection of the pressure release valve fluctuating.

    If budget provides, I'd go with Defi hands down.

    Erractic as in wildly swinging from 0 to 90 psi. Not the 'flutter' you may be speaking of which is normal.

    Also look into Stri's upper level gauges.....the are not the Xlines but DSD (or something silimar to that).

    You can get them in a package deal for a good price from importimage though I'd give our local vendors a chance to price match ;)

    Yes I will be buying them from importimage if I go with Prosports....

    You will have to modify it a little IIRC. I think the OEM pod is for 45mm.

    with a little work, I bought a cheap plastic one off ebay, molded it to the clock piece and had Ghost wrap it, think I have maybe $20.00 total
