jasejase Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not cheap, but the dashdaq unit is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl_D718 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Ive been looking into defi prosport and AEM. That's a pretty wide range in quality. Prosport is cheaper but there's mixed reviews on quality an accuracy, whereas Defi is very nice but also kinda expensive and may require a control unit depending on the gauges you pick. I had Autometer gauges in my last car and liked them enough that I'll be using them again in this car.

Drift Motion Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I found the Prosport Halo series matches the OEM gauge the best, can't comment on reading accuracy since I don't have anything else to compare to, but seems good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 My Prosports look good and work great, and the PLX afr is nice too '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Prosport Halos do match pretty nicely, but not perfectly. I'm running Prosport Halos. I'm happy with the function and the look, but I would not recommend them. They work, but they are pretty cheap quality. I had two housings crack with fairly minimal force trying to slide them in to my pillar gauge pod. I also had to extend the power wires on every single one I put in the car too. I didn't extend any sender wires, but I did feel like my location options were limited by the sender wire lengths. They also have a dimmer setting (one level of dimming) that is not at all much dimmer than the daytime setting. They are significantly brighter than my dash gauges on any setting. Can't comment on accuracy, as I don't have a lot of info to compare it to. They seem to indicate the values that I think the car should be producing.

ir2005 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thats why im getting opinions. lol Ive only used aem for the more important things and normally had glow shift as a filler gauge for an open pod spot. prosport is mixed like you stated so idk if i want to go with that... That's a pretty wide range in quality. Prosport is cheaper but there's mixed reviews on quality an accuracy, whereas Defi is very nice but also kinda expensive and may require a control unit depending on the gauges you pick.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted January 15, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted January 15, 2013 $45 prosport premium guages. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 VEI dual gauges, two gauges in the cubby with 4 read outs. Boost/AFR on one and Oil Temp/Press on the other. They are red and match the center console perfectly especially at night. They are relatively cheap when comparing to Defi's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir2005 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 i like the prosport premium gauges. As far as wideband goes any preferences? w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrw Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Prosport Premiums white/red. White is more of a light blue. I find them to be on the laggy side. I've been looking at defi racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 defi is the way to go. I have the turbo defi racer and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have a defi racer as well and it is great (bought it used though so it wasn't as expensive). It doesn't match the dash lighting as well as I would like but all in all I am very happy with the defi oil pressure gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.C.D. Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 One word in gauges - Defi Two words for why I dislike Defi - No Wideband/AFR Other than that I buy/will buy no other than Racer series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qckslvr Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I spent epic amounts of time reading about the same question, and after all was said and done, I picked up a couple of very high quality STACK mechanicals from Summit. The white and red match the stock dash beautifully, and grabbed a AutoMeter/STACK dimmer to go with it (since Subaru's have a bass-ackwards dimmer circuit). http://www.stackltd.com/instruments.html#Mechanica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
