    Boost, Oil Pressure, EGT...get DEFIs. The new Autometer Nexus gauges which have similar functions to the Defi's but allow you to customize the colors of the needles and the numbers and such, similar to the Omori gauges that do the same thing.

    on the subject of gauges, I found a pretty good pod mounting for people with the older cars that dont really have anywhere good to add gauges

    http://www.carbontrix.com/misc.htm

    a bit less ugly than the little cups

    so is it $299 for three gauges.. if it is than that is a great deal, and you are right the defis are way to much. allthough they are really nice.

    i would just suggest you look at the defi d's.
    no memory/warn/hold, but they are built really well.
    all are electronic except the boost.
    the amber matches the sti well.
