blakehunter316 · February 15th, 2008, 09:04 AM

I really like the way a pillar gauges look and i have always wanted some i also like the 2 pod gauges that goes above the radio and like doubles with the vents u know ? but im not running a turbo or a s/c so is it worth it just for the looks and the monitoring? what is good to get like oil meter and volt or what combo help me out thanks

air to fuel, EGT, fuel pressure, oil pressure, water temp

I wouldn't waste money on guages if you don't really care to monitor anything.

We're going with boost guage, wideband air/fuel, fuel pressure, oil pressure, temp, tach

If you get an OIL or FUEL gauge, make sure you dont get a MECHANICAL gauge. :O

jam77 · February 16th, 2008, 01:45 AM

wideband and electronic fuel pressure gauge

I always get A/F Ratio Gauge, Water for my pillar stuff. Haven't found a good matching pillar for mine yet.

you don't want to run mechanical guages inside the compartment because they're going to use the actual fluid for measurements.

you don't really want gas in your dash eh?

If you smoke, I beleive gas plus a cig don't mix. PLus like he said above.. it uses actual fluid so why in the world would anyone want radiator, gas, oil and tranny fluid all in the cockpit... You would strike a match next to an open, spraying bottle of nitrous would you?

ok I wasn't sure about that so I was looking at the dual gauge pod that also has the vents. Opinions on that ?

teal89 · February 19th, 2008, 12:19 AM

vents or no vents, if you get a leak, it will leak in your car. Just pay the extra 4 bucks for an electrical. You feel much better.
