Default Are these Gauge kits any good?

I am gathering parts for my truck build and I found this site for GlowShift Gauges

Diesel Performance Gauges

The prices seem too good to be true as compared to the normal gauge kits from regular brands.
Has anyone used these? are the any good?

I just did some more searches here and on other forums and looks like they are "JUNK"

IMO spend an extra $100 and get some Isspro's or Autometers. I havent had any personal experience with them, but if you ran searches and people said they were junk, they probably are.

Got my Isspro EGT/Boost Kit for $275.

haha i hear a lot of people say they're junk but how many have tried them? i have heard that the were right on line with other monitors but i have heard some that have them felt they were inaccurate. You do really get what you pay for though. its really your call. if money is tight it's better to have some gauges that might be dead on or slightly inaccurate than have no gauges at all because you cant afford them

Got Autometer Ultra Lites in a package deal on the way. I know and trust these from using them in many off-road projects.
