Thumbs up Anyone use the GlowShift digital gauges yet?

About to buy some gauges for my car in preparation of boost.
I am looking at the Glowshift digital gauges.
I had the non digital gauges before and worked perfectly fine with no issues.
Come with 1 year warranty and are very nicely priced.
Can buy boost and oil pressure for under $100 shipped right now.
Anyone run these yet?

Well don't lol.
I bought the 2 in one gauge as I only wanted 2 gauges. Thought it would look cheesy and all but still work. The boost part works fine it seems.
The oil pressure seemed to take a crap the 3rd day i had it.
Their oil pressure sender is complete garbage as is their customer service.
Made me pay shipping to send a replacement out which I think is BS as they sold me a crap product but oh well.
I'll see how the new one works before ditching the whole gauge.
I thought I had super low oil pressure as the gauge was showing lower and lower oil pressure.
Went from like 30 at idle in the beginning to now as low as 2 psi at idle. Thought my engine was about to blow.
Then skyrocketd to 145 psi and then back and forth haha.
Thing sucks.
Hopefully the replacement will work at least for a little longer so I can make sure my engine has good oil pressure and all and stop worrying about it.

Let us know how it goes... I thought about getting Glowshift gauges, but if they're crap, I'll pay more for gauges that actually work.

Yeah the only reason I got it was because of the 2 in 1.
I got the AEM wideband gauge which is really nice.
I will probably wind up ditching the glowshift even it works since it is blue and insanely bright at night right in my eye. Oil pressure is not super important for a supercharger anyways. Boost would do I think with the wideband. I will update after I get the new one in though.

Oil pressure is always important IMO. I have an oil pressure and oil temp gauge in my NA car. When racing I want to know if I'm losing oil pressure so that I may can save part of my engine rather than loosing it entirely.

Yeah as long as it will work now that will be ok for the meantime but the blue really sucks to have driving at night. Waay too bright. They only sold it in blue though so no other option unfortunately.
I have an autometer gauge pod which I like.

I've got Defi BFs and you can adjust the brightness on the control box. I like the alarm feature as well (it has a red light and horn). Worth the money if you can pick them up used like I did. I know you already have gauges, but is food for thought in case you wanted to sell and get different ones.

I think if anything I will ditch the glowshift and get another aem to match my wideband. I really like the look of them and work great as well.

I have been running 5 glowshift gauges for over a year and they all work great but i also had to replace the oil pressure unit it is shitty, but i had mine in a bad location.
