I m running the Autometer Nexus series boost and fuel pressure gages. I love the fact that you can set warning limits that change the gage color when they are met. You also get to choose between 7 colors and they will record 30 seconds of data using internal memory or tons more with a memory card.

Down fall... $$$ They are pricey!

+1 for Autometer.

Scott McClure · 06-14-2008, 06:46 AM

I run all Autometer Sport Comp for the simple fact they are the closest match to the stock gauges.

Awd This · 06-14-2008, 01:59 PM

I run defi blue racer gauges because they are electronic and dont need a link system. http://www.egauges.com/vdo_grou.asp?Series=Blue_Racer

They are a bit on the expensive side though.

I installed the phantom 2's. They are essentially the same as the sport comp 2's but during the day they are white faced, and at night they are black faced. To each their own, but these gauges have grown on me since i put them in. Crystal clear day or night!

HEY ...watch it buddy!

I have Autometer Lunar, but they don't make them anymore. The backface lighting is identical to the Cobra.

+1....I have the same guage and I like the way it looks at night matching the factory colors almost perfect.

Except only PSI and Fuel pressure gauges for me.

The AntiRice · 07-14-2008, 12:17 PM

the aeroforce guage just plugs into the obd2 port last i checked and i think there might be 3 more wires for power, ground, and like key on or something. so all in all its an easy install.

Autometer for mine...

They do match the original gauges pretty well.

I'm running the Autometer Sport Comps as well for the same reason as Scott McClure.

canadianmach1 · 07-14-2008, 06:18 PM

the aeroforce just plugs into your obd port you just have to install a map sensor kit , and its very easy.
