should i get these gauges?
boost oil and air/fuel.


if not is there a combo deal like this one or could i piece it together for around the same price?

i see some glowshift stuff running around here sometimes, i dont know how good they are. a triple pod + 3 gauges is going to be tough to beat at that price.

the boost gauge is a good idea, oil pressure too. its a narrowband A/F so it really doesnt tell you much, and i wouldnt trust it if you plan to use it for tuning.
and i dont know what gauge id get in its place. you could get water temp and save up for a wideband then swap them out.

i plan on getting wideband and boost at the least, and maybe EGT and oil pressure.

 

[boostfreak]

i dont plan to mod the car anymore then what i have done to it now.

 

[yudkib]

which is...?
assuming youre not running an AFC, a narrowband will probably get you by.

 

[boostfreak]

hard pipes and a dual set up with the bpv and hks.

i would just step up and get some cheap autometer that will last forever instead of these which might go out really soon just my .02. I bough cheap prosports and I with i wouldnt have.

 

[boostfreak]

where can i get auto meter ones at?

 

[Rush]

+1 for Autometer. I had a mechanical CF boost gauge on my MSP that ran perfectly. You can find them just about anywhere. Search Ebay. I'm pretty sure that's where I got mine, for something like $50.

IMO, a narrowband A/F gauge is useless. Either go wideband, or don't bother.

IMO, again, the 'must have' gauges for all MSPs owner are boost and wideband. They're like safety nets -- they let you know when your boost is spiking or when you're leaning out, for whatever reasons, so that you can solve the problem(s) before blowing your engine.

[Outlawstar98]

[SeR_Cyclops]

Yeah they do but I would just get the AEM

[boostfreak]

ok ill get the aem, but will it match my other gauges the autometer ones?

 

[Rush]

Yes, it'll match. The AEM UEGO comes with different color faces, so you can match it to whatever color boost gauge you get.

I had a CF boost gauge, so I used the black face on the AEM. But if you get a white boost gauge (like the Ultra Lite or Phantom), then you can use the white face on the AEM.

 

[Outlawstar98]

Ultra lite gauges look the closest to the stock gauges.

 

[boostfreak]
