    I am not running, but going to pick up some PLX gauges this winter and install in spring.

    You have to buy each sensor for each gauge.... but you an insane amount of options for display and what you want to monitor..... check out the vids on the website.

    I like my STRIs. They work, and were very reasonably priced. Don't fret, they do come in colours that are a match to the USDM dash cluster.

    If you like digital gauges check out VEI. They have led's around the edge so its sort of like analog also. I've had boost and oil pressure gauges in my LGT for about 5 years, no problems.

    I seem to remember when I was shopping around that people said the Prosports were good. As long as the range includes the ones you want/need, then 'limited' is a relative term. What info are you looking to get from your gauges ? Metric or Imperial measurements ? What diameter are the holes in your pod ? These are all details which might help us to help you.

    For me, I knew what gauges I wanted and in what units, and I knew that I needed ones that matched the OEM dash colours. Then it was a matter of looking around for the manufacturers that met those criteria. No matter how cheap, or how impressive a gauge set was, if it didn't satisfy those two needs, it was cut from the list. That made my short list very short indeed.

    Oh, and keep in mind that a lot of dealers right now are willing to haggle. Times are tough, and they want to get those sales closed. So if you find something that fits the bill but is otherwise a bit out of budget, don't write it off until you've checked in with at least a couple of dealers and tried to talk them down. It never hurts to ask.

    I would talk to import image about prosport gauges. He told me that they would be able to swing a good deal, better than any other prices I was finding online.
