if it is for looks, YES.
If you are using for ur turbo setup/other FL (NO). Invest in something better.

ok but what if I have them in my car for just a few months. like two or three? I have the turbo on but have no clue what psi i'm running and i think i'm running rich so i need gauges, so would they be worth it to get now and then better ones later or try and get some more money for better ones?

when you do it the first time, do it right. boost gauage yes get it, just to be on the safe side. air/fuel is just for looks, only wideband give you a accurate reading.

you need to go get tuned quick, or your motors gonna be busted pretty quick. learn about turbos before you drive your car anymore.

those gauges look sick in person, but they are not reliable. Just nice for looks. If you ever plan on boosting or spraying, I would get some autometer. They are cheap and quality.
