Mate of mine had the swoosh gauges, just looked a bit cheap made to me. Mind you my gauges are overkill on the price side.........I have the Carbon Face boost gauge and need to get either the oi temp or pressure gauge to accompany it!

Defi Gauges for the win.

One of the most accurate gauges you can buy.

If you want excellent quality and very accurate readings then go defi.

Autogauge are good budget ones but thats as far as they go.

autogauge do a good range aswell. they are called stepper motors, with swiss movement, (same as our throttle bodies) :)
these tent to be far more accurate.
i use them and i love them. also when they switch on the needle spins around the gauge and resets its self, this looks very pretty.
also the for example on the boost gauge it has a seprate box which the vacume hose fits to, then there is a lead from this box to the gauge itself. so very well made.
here are mine

they cost around £50 each, but im 100% sure you wont find a better gauge for the money.

steppers are fine mate, jsut the general £15 boost gauge from halfords isnt going to be that great.

When i swtiched my MR2 from the autogauge to the the Greddy EBC i left them both connected for a day to compare the readings.

The mechanical autogauge was about 1psi out on the readings. Not good.
