    I am looking at buying some gauges for my car. I have changed my dash lights to blue so I would like them to match. I just have a couple of questions for you all.

    1. Which gauges? (what should I monitor?)

    2. Which brand?

    3. Any good websites to look at?

    Thanks

    Turbo and EGT obviously but after that people either choose oil pressure or temp. I personally choose temp. As far as brands I think blitz makes blue gauges.

    Gotta plug Rich at www.daddysscp.com. His Maddad V2 gauges have worked great for me. Great service and incredible products (gauge font made to match oem even). The V2 Rx gauges are available in blue also.
    Otherwise I think autometer cobalts are bluish and some are color adjustable (defi maybe?). Otherwise there's openecu skins if you run a carputer, psi3 v2...

    defi blue racers are what you guys are talking about. they replaced the more normal looking defi d gauge series. The only problem is the crazy epileptic startup sequence (sorry tom, riding in your car actually made me reverse the decision to buy them)

    They don't have peak hold or warn, so they do lack features found in other gauges. The MadDad gauges don't have adjustable warn so I don't really like that as an idea since the warn light is set based on an arbitrary figure.

    The closest to OEM looking (but not blue) you can get that has peak hold and warn settings are Omori gauges.

    Got an Omori gauge myself. Quite pleased with the stock look. Would recommend them.
