Default Gauge question

Anyone know if these are any good?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=220412309729

I want to get the boost, oil temp, and oil press gauges (electrical, not mechanical, and they will be peak/warning) and I want them all to match. I understand the whole "you get what you pay for" and "Do it right the first time" sayings, but I want to know if anyone has experience with this company. If not, what type of gauges are you using in your car?

I am really trying to buy only decent name brand stuff for the car, but Defi gauges and the like will total about $300 or more for the three gauges I want. That's a $200 difference. If I decide against this set, then I'll end up getting Prosport gauges.

I appreciate your input everyone!

Well, gauges are kinda necessary when boosting.

the only ebay gauges i would TOTALLY trust would be voltmeter. My boost gauge is off like 2 PSI and every single ebay tach or shift light i've seen has **** out after just a few months or been dead out of the box. My boost gauge still works now that i know it's off, but its still convenient and shows their quality. You won't be disappointed by dropping the extra $$$ on autometer.

Thanks Flip. I have a friend of mine telling me to stay away from them and buy prosports. Looks like I'm just going to save up the extra cash. BTW, Flip, did you get my PM about the Greddy Turbo timer wiring?
