Best guages for the money?
I ordered an AEM UEGO wideband gauge and now I need a Boost gauge and EGT gauge.
Who makes a good quality Boost and EGT gauge that matches the RX-8 interior?
I am not interested in the Defi-Link gauges (too much $$$)
Is there an advantage to use Greddy gauges since I use the e-Manage Utimate?

Autometer makes great guages. Are you looking for mechanical or digital?

Mechanical = lines running from engine bay to cabin with a sweeping guage. (here's the autometer Nexus)
Here's a Digital guage from Nordskog

yes, there are also full sweep electricals.
Odd that some of you have read bad reviews on the Autometers, I've always heard good things about their products. Also, keep in mind that when Racing Beat decided to make a guage pod for the RX-8, they chose to offer Autometer guages.
I've always known Racing Beat to use high quality materials in their products

Well looks like I will be ordering the Greddy gauges afterall.
Price is right, thats for sure.
How is the quality of the Greddy gauges anyways?

Tailgaters beware
Autometer definitely isn't crap, they've been making guages forever, for a long time thats all there was! Just some of them still have really old school look and are mainly for 60's cars.

I saw the price on the Defi gauges and I thought wow another Harley product.
Charge too much money for a bunch of marketing hype. They work, their great, but lots a monry for BLING.
