i posted them because i read good feedback on them and possibly an alternative to Defis. i loved my SPA gauges tho, but i sold them. i wanted gauges to match the interior of the STI so i may get Defis again well i havent looked into these but the Maddad gauges come with a wireless remote instead of a control box. my SPA had an external button these may as well i had Defi BFs like 3-4 years ago. ---

Found something interesting [http://drag.nickslife.net/?page\_id=27](http://drag.nickslife.net/?page_id=27) Something tells me they wouldn’t use those gauges on a car of that caliber if they sucked/weren’t accurate.

No Layzie I did not buy these and I have no reason to try them. If you want to use them despite people buying them and posting problems that’s up to you. You also have to understand that many of the people posting positive reviews may not know any better. > [@layzie](#): > > well i havent looked into these but the Maddad gauges come with a wireless remote instead of a control box. my SPA had an external button these may as well The Mad Dad ones had the exploding oil pressure sending units. The boost gauge was way off and the needles moved erratically and slowly just like the review of the STRI ones that JROD posted. Because of that the EGT gauge never got anywhere near an accurate reading when you did a pull. It would get up to 1300 when you’re really probably around 1600. > [@layzie](#): > > im going to be a dick if you post useless info in my thread. these gauges are not sold by shitty companies. gruppe-s put them in there line up > > [http://www.iwsti.com/forums/dressup-interior/108687-electronic-blowout-defi-blitz-stri-gauge-combos-500-sun-auto-hyper-ground-99-a.html](http://www.iwsti.com/forums/dressup-interior/108687-electronic-blowout-defi-blitz-stri-gauge-combos-500-sun-auto-hyper-ground-99-a.html) > > every electronic gauges are going to have there problems. my defi boost read high and my defi EGT sometimes wouldnt even turn on. i had Jeff Evans even go through the wiring. Gruppe-S is the shadiest company I know. PERIOD. They stole money from multiple customers of ours, two shops I’m friendly with, and from us directly. They’ve also been dropped by numerous vendors for shady dealings. They are the epitome of a shitty company. We’ve never had a problem with ANY Defi product. EVER. There have been no accuracy problems that we know of and certainly no problems with them not turning on or other functions. We sell them because they work and that’s why I use them on my own car. ---

Didn’t read the thread but someone on Buffaloscooby just posted pics of these gauges installed plus I think they did a write up. [http://www.buffaloscooby.com/forums/showthread.php?p=80125#post80125](http://www.buffaloscooby.com/forums/showthread.php?p=80125#post80125) ---

I’ll be waiting to see how his end up working after they’re on for a while. I’m all for a cheaper gauge setup that really does work well…it’s just that we see this sort of stuff ALL the time and they never work well despite cheapskates online saying they’re great. It gets frustrating. ---

I know it’s not long enough to really matter, but I’ve had them in for however long (a couple days before I made the thread on BuffaloScooby) and no issues yet. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/stri-gauges/42286.md?page=1)
