Insight
wslade2,
The Cessna engine gauges are, in my opinion, a poor representation of engine condition. As Herb notes - they give some relative comparison, however, I like to have a little more accuracy when it comes to CHT, EGT, oil temp and oil pressure.
I have installed an Insight G4 Twin. While this is not a replacement for the entire Cessna gauges, it give me a highly accurate and quality display for all parameters except for Fuel Quantity. I still need to maintain the gauges however - but the options to replace them with something like the EDM-960 was more than I wanted to spend ($6k versus $17k). Not to mention cost of install...I was able to install the G4 myself and it was very straightforward and did not require major rework to the instrument panel.
