If you guys went forced induction what gauges would you get? I was thinking Boost, Air/Fuel, and Oil pressure. Are those the 3 typical or would you get more then 3?

i know some guys have the trans temp as well and monitor that big time. i think thats forensic steve's most important gauge with that trans brake that he has.

I will update everyone on that later but right now i'd just like to talk about gauges. :bigthumbsup

Since you have an auto, I would get trans temp, Boost, wideband or fuel pressure or both.

 

[stlwagon]

Boost, WB a/f, and fuel pressure or tranny temp

 

[xchris]

i assume its not possible to get 4 gauges considering they usually have 3 gauge pods, would it look ricey if i had 6 gauges?

 

[xchris]

which is exactly what i was thinking but i dont know... 6 gauges just looks ricey to me

You could get a triple a-pillar and another tripple dash top pod.

 

[tached_out]

I have a Wide Band, Boost, and Oil Pressure.

I plan on also getting a Fuel Pressure as well. I will probably just make a custom fiber glass single pod for it. or get the Speed of Sound gauge pod that goes in your cup holder thats pretty cool

 

[xchris]

any brands i should avoid or that anyone recommends?

I have:

Center Pod: Dual AFR and boost
A-Pillar Pod: Fuel pressure, oil pressure, intercooler coolant temp.
Coming soon to the center dash: Exhaust gas temp and oil temp.

The most importnat gauge you can have is wideband air/fuel ratio, IMHO. So important I have 2. one for each bank.

All my gauges are GlowGauge. Very inexpensive and they look very cool and wellas being able to change display colors.

Black 7 Color Gauges
