Made a thread a while back and i posted on it again but noone answered so making a new one.

I currently have a ProSport Boost and ProSport WB, I would love to have gotten these gauges instead:

Boost/Vac - http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/white-elite-10-color-30psi-electronic-boost-vacuum-gauge.aspx

Oil Pressure - http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/white-elite-10-color-oil-pressure-gauge.aspx

But everyone is saying not to get glowshift gauges so FIRST QUESTION is anybody else know a decent place where i can get these gauges with the same or pretty similar color scheme!?

SECOND QUESTION is originally i was going to get the glowshift wideband but its not worth it really, so i just need a new o2 sensor apparently for my prosport wideband, anyone know where and which one exactly i can get it?

There's where you can get your 02 sensor

Glowshift gauges might be pretty, but take it from me, don't waste your money. I had a pyrometer, boost, fuel pressure, and hpop pressure one on my old diesel truck. Sure it was cool how they changed 7 different colors, but it had SO many extra wires for that feature and had to swap them all out for isspro gauges in about a month, because they all quit working (the needles just bounced up and down, or didn't work at all.) Just look around there's plenty of other nice looking better quality gauges out there.

yeahh everyones saying that =\ but thanks!
 
I also had GlowShift gauges that crapped out after a year. I also couldn't stand how I had to reset the colors every time the battery got low and sometimes even when the car stalled. And how they would flicker when my headlights were on because the dinner was so bad. Also the wideband is only good down to 0.3 AFR, so it outputs an awkward step wave for data logging and narrowband sim. They were also both crazy loud. I replaced them with AEM gauges because I could get matching ones and the color adjustment is a potentiometer so it stays on red even if I unplug the battery. They perfectly match my red lights, too. I couldn't speak to the orange matching the factory lights, though. The price was good, too, from Amazon. Something like $180 for the wideband kit and maybe $60-80 for the electronic boost gauge kit. I'm disappointed that I ever wasted my time with the GlowShift stuff.

wow okay ill look into aem then thanks!
 
Prosport is a great brand I would recommend them for oil pressure, boost, etc. If you have money to spend their Halo gauges work great, and allow you to adjust the brightness and colors (other prosport gauges can be hard to see through the tint during the day). The peak/warning systems are accurate and give you a little extra relief when your driving. I prefer the Innovative LC1 Widebands and there cheaper then the AEM's Just my opinion though. Glowshifts oil pressure senders are junk so I assume they all suck haha!
Why don't you like the Prosports? Just wondering.
 
Agree that glowshit is junk and the tinited series you cant see during the day. I went through 3 Oil sensors (remote located). Im usin AEM for WB, boost and oil, i still have the Glowshit for fuel pres, volts and coolent temp. Ill get rid of those as funds are avaliable

no i dont mind prosports but whoever installed the gauges didnt do it the right way, didnt attach the pillar pod to the stock panel, so i bought a stock panel and figured since im going to have to disconnect them anyway i might as well buy new gauges and i love how glowshift has those colors. Im just going to end up buying a new o2 sensor for the prosport wideband for now
 
You will need wire strippers and a solider iron is nice.
1. For the oil pressure gauge it would be easier with a remote sender. Like this.

2. Every thing comes with the innovate wideband.

3. For boost it just take the usual things to connect. (T fittings and vacuum lines)

Those halo's are sick huh!? haha :hellyeah:

All those gauges come with everything needed and are very accurate. The Halo's also come with instructions so you can do it right!

okay great thanks! When i was interested in glowshift they tried telling me i need a 3 gauge wiring kit, and extra circuit, and an oil filter adapter LOL now i know not only do they suck but they try to sucker you in too!

I found this for you too this should save you 50$ which can go towards that remote pressure sender!

wowww great thanks a lot!!
 
Well they recommend it for them to make a profit. But the remote pressure sender works just as good in my opinion (unless you plan to run oil temp gauges) . the only negative about the oil filter housing adapter is that it can get in the way of you down pipes from your turbo (extends the oil filter a couple inches) . It saves you hassle down the road getting the remote pressure sender with the 3/8's npt. Its up to you either way will work. But keep in mind if you upgrade down the road the down pipe is going to become a tight fit most likely.
