I am looking for a QUALITY 3 gauge package with boost, air/fuel and oil pressure. It want the gauges to be smoked (faces to appear black when the car is off, prefer no chrome rings) and they need to be mountable in the standard nav pod. Basically I want them to disappear when the car is off.
I am looking for the best quality set of matching gauges and the price is way down the list in importance. Also I don't want a digital display.
The good gauges come from Japan but the Japanese use 60mm. All the cheap stuff is 52mm and made in China or Taiwan. I like HKS or Apexi. Price is anywhere from $150-200/per gauge.
Look out for fake HKS Apexi crap all over ebay. The real gauges are electronic and have a control unit. Also I don't think any of these gauge smoke when not in use.

I am leaning towards the AEM... They seem like quality and I like the options I have. I am on their site now, does anyone have a recommendation on a good AEM dealer (online). Thanks everyone!
i had prosport gauges in my last car. they worked really good. just the temp sensors took just a tad bit longer to warm up, but once warm they are pretty accurate. and for the price of these gauges, they were really good
I'm running Auto Meter Competition gauges now. I think I paid 150-200 per gauge for oil pressure and temp. I had Greddys go bad on me in the past and they had zero customer service. Auto Meter has pretty darn good customer service.
I personally recommend the full sweep electric gauges. They have a higher degree of accuracy, self calibrate when powered on, and have much more durable senders over a short sweep electric gauge. They also include a wiring harness from the back of the gauge to the sender, making install a bit easier.
Price is far less that those being quoted and I've had no probs. Besides it sounds like exactly what you are looking for and you may even want to try the combo gauges. The plasma displays are a blast.
i'm new here and i found you through the German MR2-Community. I want to implement oil-temp and pressure gauges into my MR2 and i wanted to ask, if those clusters are still available and if so where I can buy them.
I guess its hit or miss with them. Some people are really happy with them others I have heard the same thing. They are within 5 miles of me. I hope I got a good batch. I was going to buy the DEFI gauges but I couldnt find 52mm and there website was a bit chaotic.
Is anybody using a setup like the ARK MFD, Innovate OT-2, or PLX Kiwi or multi gauges? I would like something that displays everything in one place and offers peak recall and alarm functions, but I have not seen anybody use these with proper sensors yet, though all are capable of it.
Not for someone that doesn't know their way around wiring but a very good option. This is just the display unit, sensors and other items are extra. The good you can program everything you want to look at in a small simple package.
