adding gauges..

mk1993 · September 22nd, 2011, 09:56 PM

Okay let me know if this would be dumb or not, im looking at getting the Autometer Dual Gauge Instrument Bezel that AM just got in stock, mines all scratched up and faded so i figure this would be a nice upgrade. Im thinking of putting two gauges in there but i dont know what i would put. Im not putting a boost one in because i obviously am still N/A. Just wanted some input and what gauges i should put in there, i have the UPR white faced gauges so it would be nice to have white gauges as well. Thanks guys

heres my gauges

Get those sweet ones where you can change what they display. I want them, despite being N/A. I don't see how it's rice at all unless you run a false boost or nitrous related gauge.

Is it that cheesy to want to have a more accurate reading of a certain parameter or have a gauge for it at all? Some of us like to know.

2000stallion · September 23rd, 2011, 11:30 AM

you need one of these gauges man

Kinda depends on how you look at it I guess.

BML99 · September 23rd, 2011, 02:02 PM

I mean if I ran a boost gauge with no boost, I see rice-a-roni. If I were to run a more accurate water temp gauge, maybe I'm worried about the temp? having heating issues?

Edit: Here are the gauges I was talking about MK http://www.americanmuscle.com/aerofo...ptor-9604.html

ESG-642T · September 23rd, 2011, 03:42 PM

I mean whatever you do to your car is great to you because its YOUR CAR so it doesn't really matter what anybody else says.

It just seems like they have become something a bunch people want with no need.

BML99 · September 23rd, 2011, 03:44 PM

Do we really "NEED" any of the mods we do? We all know the stock Temp and oil gauges are trashy so how could it hurt to have a more accurate temp, oil, A/F, etc.

Rich J · September 23rd, 2011, 03:45 PM

If it helps your decision at all, my buddy just finished his turbo build on his car. He doesn't even have a boost gauge because he doesn't want to be one of "those people".

Rich J · September 23rd, 2011, 03:49 PM

The way he sees it is if he knows he doesn't have any boost leaks and he is only running a wastegate spring with no EBC then what's the point?
