Gauges!?!?
Gauges!?!?
So what kind of gauges does everyone use in here and what type?? Boost, egt, oil...? I know that autometer is the best for its price but how accurate are they? I wanted to get some that are backlit and preferably electrical..dont know much about tapping those mechanical gauges. What does everyone suggest? I was planning on running 3 gauges on a center gauge pod or somethin like the oem one you can buy from the dealer..anyone here got a package they wanna sell?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

i have all autometer gauges...but the boost is mechanical..i also have a/f ratio, and voltage for my stereo equipment.
they boost and voltage are backlit, the air fuel ratio gauge only lights up the bar.

the only gauge i have is the boost gauge that came with the tt. i think its fairly accurate.
alot of my friends have autometer gauges, and they all are fairly dead on. i think the a/f egt, and oil are all good to have.

VDO boost gauge is my only aftermarket meter. I'd like to add an EGT gauge to the mix eventually.

If you plan on doing any modding to your car boost and EGT are absolute must haves. The third gauge is up in the air as far as requirement. AFR, oil temp, coolant temp, or transmission temp (on an automatic) would all be good choices. You could also put a clock there to replace the stocker.
Autometer gauges are pretty good quality for the price, if you don't want anything fancy like playback or peak hold. They are pretty accuract though.
