Ok....I see now, sorry bout that.

I went with the saga gauges. Good rep on the evo forums and great for the price. I have been looking for the Defi D series (I really want stand alone gauges), but cannot find them anywhere since they've been discontinued for months! Actually, the D Series for temp, EGT, and a few others are readily available online, but boost is impossible to find. I was going to bite the bullet and get the BF series...but luckily I found these before.

I got the ones with an amber face and lighting....and also in American (Imperial) readings (F/PSI)

Some sample pics:







Functions:

* High Precision, full angle step motor used by the core.
* Full series electronic High-Precision Sensor (+/- 1% Error RATE)
* Max panel (68mm Face), and 60mm cylinder shell design
* Abnormality self-detection warnings function.
* ON/OFF self-sweeping inspection function. On, a slow then fast arm
secondary sweep. Off, a fast then slow arm secondary sweep
* Alert value setting, arm flickering, buzzer sounding function
* Nighttime light source brightness automatic attenuation function.
* Black, heat resistant, anti-UV optical Mask design.
* Self-illumination, high contrast, optical panel lighting design. Use
high-illumination, longer life LED light source.
* Light weight, high heat dissipation, full aluminum alloy precious metal
shell.
* Aluminum alloy seat and dashboard sunscreen (Visor)
* External connection large size warning indicator (optional)
* External control box not required Peak value record play back functions.
50-sec traffic record function
* Traffic record play, pause, rewind function

Let’s break it down, this is what I was going to go with: Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure (will replace stock gauges with these).

Saga 2.0 (from 500whp.com)
Boost…………$175
Temp………….$95
Oil Pressure….. $185
Control Unit……N/A
Shipping:………FREE
TOTAL……..$455 SHIPPED


Now let’s compare with Defi’s BF Series (egauges.com)

Boost…………$230.40
Temp………….$201.60
Oil Pressure….. $269.10
Control Unit……$97.75
Shipping………..FREE
TOTAL……..$798.85

DIFFERENCE of $343.85 that can go into a wideband.

^^the fact that you need a controller unit for defis sucks ass. im still debating what to do, i also like a set of the blitz gauges.

^ blitz is in metric if you don't mind that. The replacement for the Defi D series will be out in September (no controller needed), but the gauges will be in a blue LED.... you should check out the saga's if you need an amber lighting...... great alternative! What kind of car you have?

i have an 00 tlp. i changed to the type s gauges....upon further research, the autometer ultra lite 2 look good...full sweep, good price and they will match the gauges i have somewhat...i really dont want a blue led gauge...would like to stick to white, or amber if necessary. i forgot about the metric/us deal, so the blitz will be a no go...i will also chk out the sagas....

and with saga, you can get em in white or amber.

The more I look at the sagas, the better they look. The white will match nice as well. Only thing is, I cant seem to find a fuel pressure...can I use an oil pressure gauge? excuse the newb-ness, I still have some research to do about all of this stuff sorry for clogging the thread lol
