Is there a specific gauge that matches the color of the rest of the gauges in the MS3? I've had Defi before and didn't really like it, but that's the only one I've seen that comes close (I've also had those new AutoMeter gauges that are like Defis, but didn't like those either).

Prosport white/amber gauges are a pretty close match...

+1 the prosport, I got a 60mm in my vent, looks so clean and flush.

Yeah but what about the 08.5's with the red #'s and white needles? I haven't found a gauge that matches that exactly yet.

I'm shooting for a Defi blue racer gauge to match the accent lighting.

That prosport gauge looks to be an amazing bang-for-the-buck...it doesn't require a separate controller like the Defis, does it?

Not all Defi gauges require a controller unit. The racer series (blue, red, white) are stand-alones.

That's a pretty wide sweeping comment. My understanding is that there was a bad batch or two of boost gauges about a year ago, but otherwise, people are pretty happy with them. I've had mine for a year and no issues. I'm actually pretty happy with it...

I just installed my Defi Red Racer and love it. I think it matches pretty well.

175 dollars for a defi red racer boost gauge? That is kinda pricey ain't it?

I got it from Aaron@JSC for a better price. The quality of the gauge is awsome. You really can tell it's a well built gauge. I dont regret spending the extra dough.

just google maddad gauges, its the first link on there. Gotta do a little searchin around on the site to find the right ones. Think they're called the clarity ultra series. Its a three gauge bundle with boost, oil pressure, and egt. If ya only want the boost get at me and i might buy the other two off of ya
