Was wanting to completely replace the crappy stock gauges in my car which has 4 perfectly sized holes in the cluster for boost/water temp/oil pressure/fuel level. However I really don't want to buy shitty gauges on the other hand people who pay $300+ for a Greddy gauge are complete chumps.
I want something in a white face, I do like the Auto Meter Phantom gauges but I am a little leary because I have heard good (as in, never had a problem and reasonably priced) to crap (as in, off by 2-4 PSI, H20 temp not close to accurate, etc). Any ideas?

quality...you'll want it in the end. i went cheap with my 30/30 boost gauge from OBX and after i got it in (looked nice) the light broke,the wires fell off the back and the gauge now reads 5psi ...when my car's NOT ON!!! i got an Autometer gauge and when you look at it ...it just looks quality and i havn't had a problem with it yet. that's my input..take it or leave it
-------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something
