Gauges

[scartlead]

Hey everyone, looking for a little advise regarding A brand of gauge called Swoosh. Normally I\'d stick to greddy, defi etc, but for the price of these, yeah they may not be as pretty or as functional, but are they any good  / accurate etc ? Couldnt find very much info on them, but got a couple of links below, to give a rough idea of looks etc.

Anyone have any reviews on them ?

Cheers

Dont know if you have an fc but i got the prosport boost and water temp gauges as the amber looks quite like stock

Has anyone got any decent reviews of the prosport guages ? While defi etc may be fantastic, are they so much better ? as long as the prosport are reliable and accurate, thats all you would want.

Cheers

I read somewhere that the more expensve prosport gauges are not very accurate, i searched but only came up with this.

If its for accurate measurements then only use mechanical/direct guage setups, the ones with stepper motors in such as autogauge can be inaccurate because:

Mechanical gauge:

Thing that is being sensed > directly moving the gauge

Stepper motor guage

Thing that is being sensed > sensor > wiring > stepper motor > gauge movement

I made sure all my important guages such as oil temp and boost are mechanically as all you need is a bad earth and those stepper motor guages can read random figures lol
