path to take with gauges..

I am starting to piece together my upgraded fuel system for this springs and so far have a walbro 190 and rewire kit. I am going for injectors and tuning later on, but I was wondering what would be the best thing to do as far as gauges go.

Right now I have an autometer boost gauge on top of the steering column. I plan on getting a narrow band a/f ratio gauge also. Is there any more gauges that I should also look at getting?

If I just have the boost and a/f gauges I will probably get a dual pod thing for on the steering column. But if there is a third gauge I should get then I will probably get a triple gauge pillar setup....

Re: path to take with gauges..

Don't get a narrowband they don't tell you anything. Save up for a wideband. An EGT gauge is a common third gauge but there are a ton of things people like to measure (more like they just like the look of all the gauges though) but they all do provide some information on how the car is running in their own ways.

Re: path to take with gauges..

The last change to the 2g gauge setup had just two gauges, in a guage bezel pod thing. I wish they made them for the EVO. Too risky putting them on the A-pillar around here (not sure who's worse, the cops or the thieves. Same thing in my book anyway...). Boost and oil pressure. In the EVO I added a 52mm display for my Techedge WBO2. It was pretty much mandatory when starting out with AEM, I never needed one before on DSMlink. That's my 2 cents anyway.

EVO gauge setup.
