Defi D-series (discontinued, i.e. rare) is best match. Revo rev2 is pretty much copies the gauge face of the Defi-D so it's a good match too.

The only bad thing about the Defi D-series and the Revo Rev2 is that they only show 4 ticks inbetween the numbers.

I installed a glowshift this time, though not a colorshift, and had a sw last time. The build quality and such is def better with the sw, and i miss it, but at the time couldnt swing the double price for the sw. All said, I reccomend the latter, but I would forgoe the higher intensityLED that 42dd sells, its def a good deal brighter than the stock lighting to the point of being distracting/squint worthy.

Does the SW have a pretty good lens that doesn't scratch too easily? I am torn between the SW and the Autometer Sport Comp II. When you had the Stewart Warner did you use the White LED or a RED LED? Just wondering what would match better. High Intensity or not?

Thanks for the input.

The AWE guage is nice, but spendy, but I think it is worth it! If they are out, some dealers may have them, I know my local Audi dealer has them on hand!

They are out of the old style. The old manufacturer of the gauges went out of business and they have contracted another manufacturer to make them from now on.
The new gauges will have 30psi instead of 25psi and say Boost on them instead of Turbo. The only thing is that they will no longer have the silver center button.
According to Mike at AWE it will be about 4 weeks before they will get them in.
