Highest Quality Gauges? What brands do you like?

Thinking about FI and gauges: A/F, EGT, FP, and Boost. I want a top-quality broad-band A/F gauge/sensor. I want a very good EGT sensor. (Where would you install the probe?) I want a top-quality electric fuel pressure gauge. I want a very accurate boost gauge. Who makes the best quality gauges for these applications? If I'm going to do this, I do not wish to cut corners anywhere... Please advise.

DEFI are also some of the best gauges you can buy. altough they are on the pricey side they are one of the best..very popular in japan.

Re: Highest Quality Gauges? What brands do you like?

The Defi guages are what I am having installed in mine to monitor the GReddy turbos. Unfortunately the only place to mount them for now is in the A-Pillar. I am having a custom set of A-Pillars made by the installer.

The Defi guages are definitely the hottest thing out there right now IMO.

Anyone know of a reputable online distributor of Defi gauges?

Also, does no one here like Autometer?

Re: Highest Quality Gauges? What brands do you like?

I'll admit it, Autometer is the least sexy brand out there. That said, their boost gauge is perfect for my needs, so I ordered the 4376. I wanted something that matched the AEM wideband, had peak and warn functions, was in PSI, and had a reasonable scale ( it only goes to 15, makes a lot more sense than 30 PSI that we'll never see).
