Yea, I have been on the search for gauges also....

I got a 52mm 3 gauge a-pillar pod.

If you want to get all the same gauges, then I would look at Autometer Nexus, they have an amber color that is very close to OEM.

The setup I'm going with is...

-Innovative Wideband
-Defi BF imperial amber Boost
-Defi BF imperial amber Oil Pressure.

I like the Defi's because they have the tinted cover, and they are good gauges. The Autometer gauges are very nice also, but I already have the Wideband, so I'm not going to get those.

Yea, Defi dosen't make a Wideband, so you wouldnt be able to get all Defi's.

The Innovative Wideband and the Defi Gauges match up well though..

If you want to find gauges that are all the same brand then I would defn be looking at the Autometer Nexus, they are very good also.

Here is a Video of the Defi BF's, and an AEM Wideband. They are "close" to the color, but that car also looks like it has a n 03-04 Gauge cluster, and I belice they are a pit lighter.

You might want to try the new PLX gauges.. You can get them in 52MM or 60MM..
These are spendy but are very cool.. You can customize the gauge to whatever you want.. PLX will even make you a gauge face if you take a pic of your dash (for Free).

Here is a link to the 52MM ones... Check out the vid..

Go with the autometer nexus gauges. IMO they are the best matching gauges to the stock gauges, and you can customize them to pretty much any color you want. They're also 52mm

Yeh if you want all three the same gauges....I say Autometer Nexus.

But I went with the Autometer Wideband and the DEFI for the other two.

The only thing that pisses me off about all the nice looking gauges...is that they all go to 30psi. My car only does 8psi. So why can't they make a nice 15-20psi guage? Not everyone owns a Supra! haha.

Where are you going to put the gauges?

Also why do you only want to run 52mm gauges?

I have a 52mm pod, but I'm going to sand it to fit the 58mm Innovative, and the 60mm Defi's.
