Are you asking for brand recs, or specific types of gauges such as oil pressure?

I've had good luck with my AEM gauges so far. I'd recommend Boost Pressure, AFR, and Oil Pressure. YMMV.

You can get any type of gauge you want and have it customized from SpeedHut. Takes about 5 weeks. If you get an oil pressure gauge. Make sure it reads to 150 psi. Cold starts and high rpm will put the oil psi over 100.

Going with the exact 3 gauges that you have mentioned. Just looking at different brands. As of right now the Pro Sport Premium Evo gauges have really caught my eye.

Thanks for the heads up about the oil pressure gauge

I'm currently running Defi Advance RS boost, oil pressure, and oil temperature gauge. I only went with the RS because the green matches the rest of my interior. If you're interested in the Defi gauges, I'd recommend the Advance BF. The red/amber color will match 99.9% of the Z's gauges out there and it also comes in US measurements, whereas the RS only comes in metric. It doesn't come with AFR though, so for that I'd recommend the Innovate DL-G. It comes with dual inputs so you can measure both banks on the same gauge and just plug that into the cubby under the triple meter (if you don't have the OEM navi). Hope that helps!

Be wary of the Prosport gauges. I ordered an oil pressure, AFR, and boost gauge from them because one of their styles matched the OEM perfectly. I didn't really think anything of it, but then I learned that Prosport is a rather low-quality manufacturer and people report failing sending units very frequently, especially the oil pressure gauge. That being said, I've had no issue with my gauges - yet. And they look to be high enough quality for me and read accurately. If I were to do it again I'd go Defi for the peace of mind.

My shop actually just notified me that they no longer carry Pro Sport gauges due to having too many issues with them. They did say that they will install them if that is what I want. They had recommended the Revel VLS OLED gauges if I want digital gauges. I like the look of the Glow Tech gauges as well but have no idea about their reliability.
