Dont buy cheap gauges they're not worth a shite.
rather get a second hand decent set than a new shite set...
dont have to be defi just something reputable.

greddy hks etc..
VDO, auto meter are meant to be decent.
Fakes of all them all are doing the rounds so watch out and any guage is only as good as its sensor.

I bought the pro sport gauges from Barrys, 230 for the 4 of them with sandwich plate and water temp sensor adapter. Haven't fitted them yet but will be in the next week or two. I think they look very good and look to be good quality. I'd say buy them dude, doubt Barry's would be selling them if they weren't good

Nice one Kyle fair play for reply, think I only need oil temp, have water (working), boost (working) oil pressure NOT WORKING cause when rb25 was being built somewere along the way the signal sensor that screws in block got lost but think I have another sorted should get that back up and goin, know in day or 2, exhaust temp gauge (working) so only need the oil temp and sandwich plate already fitted for oil cooler so nearly there
Only need the 1 clock by looks of it, thanks bro :)
