Im buying all new gauges, currently i have Prosport boost and prosport wideband.

I decided to get all GloShift gauges:

Wideband - GlowShift | Black 7 Series Digital Wideband Air Fuel Ratio Gauge

Boost/Vac - GlowShift | White Elite 30 PSI Turbo Boost Vacuum Gauge

Oil pressure - GlowShift | White Elite Oil Pressure Gauge with Electronic Sensor

WAS TOLD TO GET THESE ITEMS

3 gauge wiring kit - 3 Gauge Wiring Kit

Oil filter sandwich adapter - Vehicle Specific Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter

NOW FOR THIS ITEM I NEED HELP TO WHICH SIZE CIRCUIT THE 2G HAS!?

GlowShift's Expandable Circuit & 4 Amp Fuse

Do not get a glow shift wideband. Get the innovate LC-1 wideband that is around $200
 
Standard size duuuude.

And fyi, I seriously doubt that adapter is going to allow an oil filter to fit anymore. It's mooostly due to the 02 housing being kiiinda in the way. There's a few places for your sensors to be threaded in all ready to go stock. So no need for that fruity adapter.
 
So you went from PRO Sport to any copy of the same gauge?
Trust me when I say you are better off spending the money on good quality gauges like Autometer, AEM, Definitely, etc. I have been down this road and it will cost you more in the end.

At the least buy the Innovative WBO2. With the Glowshift it doesn't respond as quickly and uses an inferior and hard to find O2 sensor. It's nice to be able to go to a parts store and get a new WBO2 sensor.
 
I have some Glowshift gauges in my car right now. Don't waste your money on them. They're alright, but keep your Prosports, they're better. I'm switching to Prosport Evo's soon. My boost gauge on occasion will read no boost even though I know my car works.
 
I'm with everyone else. I wouldn't use glow shift again. I Had an oil psi gauge that quit working within a month. As NHerron said with that adapter you are going to have slim to not enough room at all to put an oil filter on. Especially if you have a 3" dp. I also think that glow shift expandable circuit is too big and bulky. Would probably work but then again it's glowshit.

Could try something like this STM: PIGTAIL FUSES which is sold from a great supporting vendor. I used that and bought a fused block like this.

Does innovate sell all 3 sets of gauges? Im no where at that point but I am saving everything which is making it easier through the purchasing process.
 
IF you go with the Innovate, you will probably get the LC-2 as they are phasing out the LC-1. I know I ordered a LC-1 and got a LC-2 instead and I am real happy with it. Just letting you know.
 
As others have stated, I'd steer clear of the GlowShift wideband.

Go with an Innovate or an AEM. Just my $ .02, but my Innovate seems to poll faster than my UEGO did. (Whether or not that has a factual basis, I do not know.)
 
I like those gauges you got picked out saving these links LOL

i know haha amazing!

haha alright thanks man! exactly what i needed to hear!

ill definitely give a look at the innovative one then! as for the boost and oil pressure i love the color switching and the glow of them thats why i chose them!

gotcha, i really love the colors of them and how they glow, my pro sports are old and ugly, also pillar pod is messed up since previous owner didnt install it to the OEM one so gotta take em out anyway might as well install new gauges

Yeah they do. I like their dual function gauges and mtxl. Innovate is really just popular for their wide band though.

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts
This is just one vendor there are lots more to check out.

innovative got some nice colors on their gauges?

yeah might go with innovative wideband then glowshift boost and oil gauges

100% This. For those who don't already know, the gauges that are coming out of Prosport America are just brought in from Taiwan.
[Hope that link is alright.]

You can imagine the QA hurdles in a situation like theirs.

im into the colors of glowshifts gauges thats why im switching to them, my prosport wideband is broke anyway, needs a new o2 sensor or something

From what I've seen, where Prosport is concerned, the majority of complaints refer directly to their sensors. Not sure if they're using a Bosch sensor on their Wideband kit or not.

I just went with Defi.
 
kind of thinking about this again, everyone is saying do not get glowshift, but i love their colors, does anyone know good places where i can get similar gauges? I wasn't planning on getting the wideband from them anymore either, the wideband i have now just needs a new o2 sensor, so if someone knows where to get a prosport o2 sensor i dont even need a new wideband!?
