I just got a new Faze boost gauge. Figured I'd go ahead and spend the money for a gauge I have seen advertized, but unfortunatly I cant put it in my car until I get it running again. However I dont know anyone who runs Faze gauges so I was wondering how well they work and how nice they look at night. If anyone could give me some input or perhaps a pic..I would be very greatful. Thanks.

I was in need of a boost gauge quickly and couldnt wait to order one. So i picked up the faze indiglo gauge at autozone. I have had the basic autometer ultralite before and i definately prefer the indiglo style of the faze at night much easier to read. As for gauge performance i am using a 3 bar map sensor to record boost with my datalogger and i get the same reading from the faze boost gauge so i assume its pretty accurate.
Although it is not really popular. the gauge itself doesnt seem cheap at all and i would definately put it on par with the mechanical autometer gauges in terms of performance.
I originally intended to use the gauge temporarilly and then pickup a defi or apexi, but so far i cant complain so i guess its staying in here. I had paid 40 bux but i see them at around 59.99 i would honestly buy faze if i were gonna spend 55 for a basic autometer.
I had one for the longest time and I switched to autometer (black face) because it was too bright for me at night whenever I go for a long drive (i.e. two hours). It's pretty accurate since it read exactly what my new autometer does. I guess it's just preference that I happen to like the stock looking boost gauge. They are pretty though at night.
i have a bunch of faze gauges.... a/f, boost and voltmeter... also bought the faze digital morpher thing that allows you to change the colors. I got these because they matched my whitefaced indiglo gauges and i hate the reverse indiglo gauges. It was either autometer lunar series or faze gauges, and faze was a new company and cheaper, so i thought i'd sport 'em out and see how they are.
One thing i do not like about them is that they are too bright for me. i have mine on the dimmest setting and its still a bit too bright. And for the AirFuel gauge, when the blue light comes on its blinds you (when you go WOT or give it a moderate amount of gas). Anyone with a faze a/f knows what im talking about. :laugh:
Yeah I have the boost and Air-fuel. I unhooked the airfuel gauge because it pissed me off one time to many. There not that bright, well at least I dont think so. Cant beat them for the price.
I have an A/F gauge but its from Sunpro. The only problem is I took it from a jerk who screwed me over...he left his car here so I sold it and snatched the gauges out. (it was a POS 89 Honda Acord) but I dont know how to hook it up... So its sitting in my pillar in the garage... Can you guys gimme a hint on what wire goes where??
Wish I could tell you RIGHT NOW. But I'm in class. When I get home tonight I'll look and post the color scheme. So keep your eyes peeled up here and I'll get back to you on that.
the air fuel is ridiculous when it goes into rich mode, like during shifts, it looks kinda cool though when you shift and you get this wacky blue flash!!
