I need to buy some gauges for a project, but dont want to blow a fortune on them.

Looking for wideband and boost… before i used the AEM wideband gauge and a defi analog boost gauge… but i know the defi was discontinued and i just got lucky.

soo what is the new hotness in gauges?

If you’re using AEM EMS, their serial gauge is cool.

so you want something accurate and percise, but don’t want to pay the price for it?

I see that Harbor Freight is having a special on their “Super Accurite™” brand gauges this week.

yes, the chinese fail to spell check their brand names.

as far as wideband I’ve always been a fan of the Innovate line. they sell a LC-1 standalone gauge kit that is a nice setup. It comes in red and blue. I want to say it’s usually under $250.

I dont mind paying for an accurate gauge… i just dont need to spend 200+ bux on a controller and 200+ for a gauge for defi link/ autometer nexus… just to get a pretty electronic sweep/blackface

just looking for a good/accurate mechanical boost gauge

Defi still has red blue and white racer guages that don’t require use of the D-Link (for boost). We can get these at Swerve. Give us a call if your interested.

AEM offers a standalone boost gauge which is nice because it also offers 5v output for datalogging. Eliminates needing to buy a map sensor.

I’m sure that is a nice gauge, but I see absolutely no need to buy a boost gauge at over $200
