Everyone likes to hate on Autometer these days but they've been making gauges for donkey's years. I've used them in plenty of my cars and never had any issues with them.

Some people seem to like Defi so they can feel like a baller with $1500 worth of gauges on their dash.

It did cross my mind that the really expensive gauges were about paying for the brand name and more of a wank factor than actual need for them.

My gauge so far has been working great and so long as it stands the test of time I can't see a reason to spend $300 on a gauge opposed to $50
