I have the cobalt series autometer gauges, I like them, but i've replaced both gauges twice because the LEDs burn out in them which what seems after a year or so; so half the gauge lights up, annoying

I've used both the trd & prosport electrical gauge. The prosport gauge not only looks much better when lit up in the car it much more accurate than the mechanical gauges. Biggest difference between a mechanical & a electrical gauge is how they get the boost signal. With the electrical one you don't have to run a vacuum line into the vehicle so there's less of a chance that the line will get pinched or damaged.

I plan on running 6 psi on the supercharger and around 25 lbs on the turbo since I am twincharging the system.
