When comes to performance parts you get what you pay for . Get a set of Isspro or Autometers

Hi,
So can either of you quantify the responses please. I understand there may be a difference in quality, but specifics are better please.
thanks

i bought some brand new off ebay and they were installed correctly by a shop but the boost would never read correctly from the begining and the pyro worked ok for about 6mo and then wouldnt read right. it would jump temps for no reason and no mechanic could figure it out.

the question to ask yourself is would you rather spend the extra 200 or so to buy a set of autometers or buy a cheap set and take a chance on having to repair or replace something like a turbo or something more.

I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for and that it's better to do a job just one time.
Not enough details either, I'll bet that the boost gauge only reads up 30 psi.

I agree, you get what you pay for. You have to be able to trust your gauges. Not wondering when you have an abnormal reading, is it the gauge or is it something else?

I can sell you anything and make it sound good. The real question is will they last and will you have to "custom" fit every part. I know with isspro you wont and they will last for ever. Have you looked at a semi latly they almost all use isspro.
