Alright so im finally almost done buying all the parts i need for my motor build + turbo build. I did a little bit of research about gauges and i found out that the most accurate ones are the electrical ones (not mechanical) and also are the most preffered ones. I also found out that full sweep (270 degrees) is a lot better then the traditional sweep i think like 160 degrees?
So i went lookin for gauges that are full sweep electronic, ofcorse i know about the DEFI, which are insanely priced at around $200usd a gauge, some more. You would need at least 3 gauges, especially for high power builds. Which works out to about $600usd + shipping + the control box ($100), roughly you are lookin at $800usd for DEFI 3 guages.
So i went lookin for cheaper alternative, autometer, what i found was that the full sweep electronic are still priced at about $160-$200 even for the crappiest "looking" autometer gauges.
Ebay ones that are priced at $60 each, are just junk, most fail within a month, and are very inaccurate. However i really dont want to spend $1000 on gauges, it just seems rediculous. Am i missing something? can someone point me to cheaper but still acurate/reliable gauges? I would preffer to have 6, if not then at least 3 in the following order;
1) Water temp (stock is not accurate)
2) Oil pressure
3) Boost
4) Air/Fuel wideband
5) Oil temp
6) Fuel pressure
