My DSM had AEM UEGO, and ProSport boost/oil pressure gauges. They were GREAT gauges, especially for the price. Never had any trouble with them, and they were noth very accurate. Tinted gauges for the stealth look. You could choose between amber and white also as to what color you wanted them to glow. You could also make them glow a different color while you had the lights on at night. Mine were tinted when off, white during the day and amber at night to match the dash lights in the DSM.

And both gauges cost me under $100 shipped. Id recommend them to anyone, I also know a few other DSM'ers who have had success with prosport.

Prosport for sure. They're great. Also autometer makes good, basic analog gauges for cheap.

^^^^That guy gave great advice, though.

ive seen and heard of prosports being a hit or miss gauge. some are accurate but some arent. i personally used stewart warner's maximum performance line and liked them.

I use mostly Autometer gauges in our cars. They have always been accurate and lasted a long time. I use an AEM wideband but the others are autometer something depending on the look for that car as the internals are the same.

as far as wideband, i would go with the AEM. im about to order one. narrowband is just an expensive light show, not worth it. autometers have always been my favorite. im running glowshift boost, and oilpressure right now, and they are accurate but i want some autometer nexus.

honestly ive heard horror stories about many guages. from glowshift to those interceptor guages. i went with glowshift cuz they were what i could afford, and i thought it was pretty sick how they blacked out when the car was off. stealth lookin lol. my boost guage is dead on, oil pressure is pretty close too.
