What have you got and what do you recommend?

Currently looking at the AEM X-Series and Defi Racer gauges, I'm guessing PSI is the one to go for (AEM is switchable between PSI / BAR) due to being able to be slightly more accurate?

Also seen some much cheaper gauges from Turbosmart <£50 (Australian company) and Prosport <£100

Will probably be picking up the AEM UEGO Wideband as well so maybe I should just bite the bullet and get the more expense AEM X-Series...

Well it is like the Mary Celeste around here lately :lol:

Maybe some gadget porn will wake people up?

I've decided to go with the Prosport 52mm JDM dual display gauges, starting with the boost gauge.

Only problem is I can't decide whether to get PSI or BAR :lol:

Any issues with either? BAR is metric and same as the factory gauge and PSI doesn't suffer the issue of the decimal place, perhaps the numbers are easier to remember and view...

They also do a wideband AFR gauge in the same style which I will probably go for.

Also tempting was the all-in-one boost / wideband gauge which has an OLED screen -

So I purchased a new Prosport Evo Premium Boost Gauge. I did lots and lots of window shopping before I chose this gauge. Originally I wanted a mechanical style with a needle but after seeing some videos of this one I just wanted to have it. That and it has a warning and memory peak feature, plus 4 different colours that the display can be changed to including auto-dim with headlights on.

Plumbed it into the vacuum feed that goes to the KLR computer using the t-piece that came in the package and then wired it into the head unit wiring (the cable supplied with the gauge is tiny). They supply a jumper cable for additional gauges so you can daisy chain them together instead of having to wire each gauge individually. I will be getting the wideband gauge next!
