If you buy crap (Sunpro isn't too bad but I will spend extra on my gauges) and the readings are wrong then bye-bye engine. The gauges are what you trust to be right.
You're starting to sound like XBGod, not a bad thing IMO, but sometimes the best of the best is overated. You don't always need the cream of the crop.

If thats what you are going for get some DEFI gauges.

A Mechanical gauge is a mechanical gauge. They all operate the same way. Personally I am a fan of VDO. I have used their boost gauges many of times.

Ok, better put than what I said. For example:
Sunpro oil pressure gauge - no more than $20
AEM oil pressure gauge - $200

They do the SAME THING, except one is mechanical and one is electric. An insignificant difference if they both work.

Cut me some slack guys, I had to save money somewhere on this install - it isn't exactly cheap lol.

Honestly I would rather mechanical gauges vs. electrical gauges anyday of the week.

No, xbg has much more money than me. Autometer gauges, not the high end ones, are reasonably priced. So Sunpro - $30, Autometer - $60 = worth it, IMO.
