man chill the fuck out. if you’re buying gauges cheaping out isnt advised. there are plenty of budget gauges, megan arnt any good. defi blue racers arnt bad priced. if memory serves me some of the autometers are decently accurate. cheap and accurate arnt something u’ll get in gauges. ---

ok you asked for advice, people gave you advice, you tell them that their parents paid for their car? your opening statement sucked because you didnt specify wether you were going to spend 200 on both or on one. gauges are important and $200 on a gauge shouldnt be a big deal if you want a reliable one, and if you are making twice the money we are in a week. also plenty of people on here live pay check to pay check becuase of car costs so who are you to tell anyone that their parents payed for there stuff. if you want advice take advice or dont ask the question. ---

as much as people on here hate autometer gauges. i’m runnin their ultra-light serise in my SHO and the trans temp gauge matches a heat gun on the oil pan within a few deg and my boost/vac gauge is dead on with a VDO boost gauge. They were about 50 each give or take. Not the best looking but they get the job done in my price range. ---

I’ve never had a problem with VDO gauges and I’ve used them exclusively since I started modding cars. Well, let me rephrase that. Up until my damn boost gauge just started reading 4 in Hg when off just recently, I have never had a problem with VDO gauges. Was fine for years, then just magically decided it didn’t like 0. They’re like $40, if that, at [egauges.com](http://egauges.com). ---
