Defi seems to be the best match..look in the FS section.

The only ones I'm familiar with are DEFI 'D' Series. They match the stock gauges pretty well and were relatively inexpensive. But they've been discontinued for a couple of years. They still come up for sale now and then though.
And why do you need a "rev gauge"?

Shiryuoss

because mine is not working right . a friend is gonna check it out.
but sometimes it's reading wrong. still need to check it before i buy a new one.
yesterday i was around 6000 and them the car gave me the BEEP that it gives
when we are in the redzone.

buy a new tach?

Shiryuoss

Check the solder joints on the back side. IIRC, there's some history of them breaking, but it's a relatively simple fix once you have access.

Shiryuoss

alright. I'll check it out.. thanks for the help

I agree with the DEFI D-series gauges. They light up almost exactly the same color as the FD cluster. I think it looks awesome actually. I have them in my car.

They're still available new here and there. I think if you go to Tein's site you can find them.

searching for boost and water temp gauges too... as the Defi D-series has been discontinued - what is the next best choice for a match to the factory gauges?

Prosport has some pretty good gauges.

if you wanna go cheap my autometer boost gauge matches the stock gauges near perfect. if you want i can take a picture tonight that way you can see. also i forgot which exact gauge model it is but i can look it up if you are interested.

looks like the Defi gauge comes with either a black outside dial or chrome - the chrome ringed gauge looks even better:

An inexpensive alternative would be the Stewart Warner gauges. They're not an exact match, but still work okay. Needles are kinda more orange-y than red and the bezel is silver not chrome. Backlighting is white, green or red depending on what condom you put on the bulb.

STRI X-line gauges:

ProPlus gauges:

I've personaly seen quite a lot of the STRI gauges fail after some use, 90% of the time the A/F model.
The shop where I used to work stopped selling them because of that and for the last 2 years they have only sold the ProPlus gauges, there have been a few DOA's (I prefer to think they were killed by mistakes during installation) and even fewer warranty claims, it's a cheap Taiwanese manufacturer but to me they have proven themselves, I have had 2 (watertemp+boost) in my FD for about a year now and they still function without flaws.
The backlight is bright red or bright white, I am going to try and get my hands on a broken one to see if I can mix the red and white LEDs inside to make an amber colored gauge.

I have the VDO gauges and they are dead on to the stock gauges. DEFIs are nice if you have the cash but if you need a reliable(porsche uses them) and fairly inexpensive then I recommend the VDO gauges.

they offer a TON so just pick the category you need. I'll try to find pics of my setup

Autometer Z series matches perfectly, not the best gauges on the market but they work great for me.

used Defi D or Greddy with the amber backlight. I think those are the best stock match but still look modern. Some of the others look a little too old/generic for my taste.

first pic I found was temp but the color and style is the same for boost, i think it looks nice, i use that same gauge for water temp and a defi for boost in a column mount.

look at the VDO 'vision chrome' (3 rows down) and the Auto Meter 'pro comp' (7 up from bottom). what do you think?
