Default gauge options

I'm running a dual-gauge pillar, but I only have a boost gauge thus far. If it was your car, what's the most important thing to monitor on a boosted car? fuel pressure? EGT? A/F?

I'm trying find the WBO2 and FP gauge combination gauge, but I don't recall who sells it. Anyone know?

'99 FRC, STS at 6 psi, stock otherwise.

Boost and fuel pressure for sure. I am also running a wideband so I can watch that as well.

brian,

where'd you get that wonderful gauge on the bottom? Does it say "SPA design?" I think I can find the top one.

I'll probably just pull the electric FP gauge from my formula and run that on the vette now. The formula is going to get parted anyway...

I just put one of those in today. I got it new, from Brian, just email him. It is a SPA dual boost and fuel. Also put in the XD-1 today and the LC1 last week.

Yeah, I hooked Cajun up for his, I am a Spa dealer, pm me for details with your email address.

These gauges kick *** for several reasons. You tell me what 2 readings you want and I can spec it out for you. Example, boost/fuel pressure or oil and egt.... You can kill 2 birds w/1 stone with these setups. Imagine for readings in 2 2 1/16 holes. I can also hook you up with wide bands, A-pillar posts etc...Any combo is possible. I am going to b a full vendor real soon and will bring a boat load of euro influence into the c5/6 scene.

Brian

PS: Stay tuned for my full Mini Mac A/V system, a first in a Vette as far as I know.

this is the second time I've heard of this Mini Mac system and I have NO idea what we're talking about. Can you elaborate?

I'm going to swap my FP gauge from the formula to the vette. SO, I'll have boost/FP monitored.
