i have them in mine and several customers. i have only had one gauge go bad (shortout). i havent had any problems with them other then that one and it was replaced for free. i have had an isspro boost and glowshift boost hooked up next to eachother when i first tried them and they were the same. the only bad thing about the glowshift that i have found is they dont have a big selection of gauges so if you want to monitor a bunch of stuff you have to get other gauges (glow shift doesnt have a gauges that can read high pressures for an air tank or so) overall im very happy with mine

In my opinion they SUCK. I installed them on a buddy's 6.0. For one thing the illumination is always on, which is pretty cheap if you ask me, a good set will only have illumination when the lights are on. Also the EGT gauge was inaccurate as hell. We drove his truck around a bit, and since he got on it a bit i told him to wait til the temps got around 350 or 300 before shutting it down. We let it idle for about 10 or 15 minutes and it still showed like 400-425.

He had i think $250 in his 3 gauge set. These did not include connectors, or even wires that were long enough, and not enough boost line. Just about every wire needed to be extended. Plus they are just inferior gauges overall. And they look like ricer gauges.

I had about $350 in my Isspro kit. This included EVERYTHING needed for the install. It came with all the connectors needed, enough wire, boost line, everything. Plus they look better and more professional and are more accurate.

So you can spend a little less money and have a pain in the azz install with a chitty gauge, or spend another $100 and get a premium gauge that comes with everything needed for a fast and easy install. It took about 3 hours total to install my gauges, including lots of dickin around, and about 3 hours to install the glowchits not including the dickin around. You can form your own opinion with those facts.

I have them and they work great. I dont know why people bash them on here. Mine came with more than enough wiring and all the connectors were there. Hell they even knocked off $30 off of mine. Great shipping also.
