In the 2nd gens, if you have the white face gauges, Autometer Phantom series looks great with it. If you have an SRT with the silver gauges, Ultra-Lite series looks awesome with that. Just my opinion.

goto autometers website, they have ALL them there, and you can buy most at Autozone, as well as online stores like Summit, Jegs, etc

what about digital gauges?

im thinking of putting an UDP and a digital volt gauge in an srt boost gauge housing. i have only found 1 digital gauge. ( http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... 83&FROM=MG )

i like this one, but im looking for more options. or will i end up paying an arm and a leg for it?

edit: i just found the autometer digital voltmeter. its in the cobalt series. $100, hahahaha, that aint happening

edit 2: i found a digital gauge from cyberdyne at Jegs. there blue ice gauge is $70 and the red heat gauge is $40, the $40 gauge is also available in amber and green. so i have found 4 options, and two of them arent options.

You know that an underdrive pulley won't fit into an srt boost gauge pod, right? :)

Personally I've always liked analog, butwith the digital ones, I really don't get what the hell is so expensive about a volt meter. They're one of, if not the simplest gauge out there and they're that much money.

^^^
agreed....
Personally I would say AutoMeter FTW
But for accuracy and precise readings, I would stick with digital led gauges since they provide more accurate readings.

I am running the Mopar branded ones made by Autometer. Using the volt gauge as well as the electric oil pressure gauge.

I love the look of the Mopar gauges, but they don't offer a 270-degree sweep mechanical oil pressure, so no go for me. Sucks too because they really look nice.
