what gauges do you use?

[Myspeed12]

what are some good gauges...cause im looking into a 2 pod din under my stereo for my msp, but dont know what to choose from, anybody got pictures of what they have or what gauges are good to use for looks and durability. My thought would be a boost gauge and something else. I dont know much about gauges, so any input would help

i use autometer phantom! i have not had any issues with them!

I also use the autometer phantom gauges and haven't had any issues with them. As for what to use, a boost gauge is pretty much a necessity. I've also got an a/f gauge. It's pretty much worthless because of the narrowband o2 sensor. I thought about swapping it out for a fuel pressure gauge, but the light show keeps me entertained at red lights.

where can I get autometer phantom gauges?

 

[GoProtege]

They're pretty common. You can probably find them at a local autozone or similar store. You can also look on jegs I think I got my gauge pod from jegs and my a/f gauge from a local speed shop.

[Myspeed12]

One thing about the boost gauge. You might want to spend a little more for one that has a light. Mine doesn't and is impossible to see at night.

lol I just rhymed

You should check out the autometer nexus gauges.... they are like the bentley of gauges.... PLUS they have a nice warning system of out of range readings that you set to trigger a warning.

Stewart Warner Gauges are the best for the interior match. With gauge rings! WOW!

anybody have pics of what their setup looks like?

 

[joka1]

i can't find any good pics, all i have is this:

my motor is blown and my battery is dead now so i can't get any new night pics but i will grab some better guage shots!! btw i have a new steering wheel pod to hold 1 more guage! oil pressure will replace the boost guage on the a pillar and the boost will go to the steering wheel!

[GoProtege]

I like the blue, looks good. Moving the boost gauge to the steering wheel sounds like a good idea. I might do that.

Here is my setup.
I have all stewart warner gauges except for my Innovate Wideband.
Boost, Oil Pressure, Digital tach with shift light, Water Temp, Fuel Pressure and my Wideband. Here are some pics.

.. Autometer carbon fiber boost gauge and AEM wideband gauge.

I can take pics of the setup tomorrow, if you're really interested.

Am I the only one that posted so far that decided to go with black-faced gauges, and not white?

I got the CF gauges too, but I would like to get rid of them.
