Best Boost Gauge

[dubs_17]

Is Omori/AWE still the best boost gauge for color match? Does anyone else come close? I know about the gorgeous Nexus gauges out there, but I'm not too keen on the probable price of those puppies. Where's the best place, pricewise and convenience-wise, to pick up an Omori/AWE gauge?

awe/omori is the ONLY way to go if you want perfect

Re: Best Boost Gauge

I agree with Ryan....if you want the best, get an AWE/Omori. That being said, I really like my 42DD gauge/pod combo. That color match isn't perfect, but it is very, very close.

wat about a stewart warner gauge? they look nice, ive never seen one lit up though...

Re: Best Boost Gauge

i have a stewart warner gauge myself, as for the perfect match LED's they didn't fit. so i had to ghetto rig it and use tape. but 42DD just released a perfect match LED that does fit SW guages.

i'd get the omori. i'm just to lazy to take off my a pillar, and do the swap.

Re: Best Boost Gauge

Why am I having such a hard time finding an Omori gauge? Is it the only one that has a light-up needle as well, or does the needle on the VDO gauges light up? What's the story on the Cobalt gauges - any good?

Re: Best Boost Gauge

No, the needle on the VDO gauge doesn't light up.....find an Omori/AWE and be done with it

Actually, just talked to a guy on Vortex that has the VDO...the needle on the VDO does light up....red.

Re: Best Boost Gauge

it does light up red but so dim it sucks balls trust me

Re: Best Boost Gauge

It's tough to justify 5X the $$ for a redder needle and bluer numbers...hmmm

Re: Best Boost Gauge

this is true.. i actually got my omori off vortex for like 100US new from a guy.. it's hard to swallow retail prices for sure
