Supercharger guages?
Now that I have my A&A kit I need to purchase a boost and fuel pressure guages. Are there any alternatives that are cheaper than autometer? I will need the A-pilllar pod as well.
Thanks

I have a SPA fuel pressure/boost guage that I'll sell you.
Look up SPA gauges. Better yet, ask around in the F/I section.. Their the ****..
Its a split screen digigal gauge thats got all kinds of functions.
Mine is about 3 months old, and has about 3 hours worth of use.
I'll sell mine for 250.00 shipped. This will kill 2 birds with 1 stone..It saves you about 60 bucks plus shipping over new..
It comes with:
1 split screen gauge
1 fuel pressure sensor
1 boost sensor
1 Instruction booklet
and all wires..

SPA's are Very Nice gauges and $250 shipped is a Good price!
I bought some B&M ones that are solid black until you power them up and then they have a nice glow to them. They were around $160 for fuel pressure and boost if I remember right. If Jeff would've been selling his when I bought mine, I'd probably have done his SPA along with my WB02 gauge in a dual gauge pod. Instead I went for the fuel pressure and boost and put the WB02 in the ashtray.
Here's what mine look like lit up and off. The flash lets you see the gauge numbers when it's off, but normally, they're blacked out. Also, Sorry for the blurry pic of the gauges on, they're pretty bright, especially in a dark garage. I did that for effect. Good Luck!

Thats why I did it.
In one pod I ran my FP/Boost gauge, and in the other I run my A/F gauge. I allows you to run all 3 in 2 spots..
PLUS, I like the digital gauges wayyyy better than the analog. I have a hard time seeing the analog gauges when I'm driving..

I got mine from a local speed shop, but I think that you can get them from Summit or Jeg's too.

I just received my SPA gauge, I made a plate for the ashtray area to mount it. Looks great there and it's hidden when the ashtray door is closed. btw, the SPA gauge is a high quality piece.
Where is the best/easiest place to run the wires through the firewall?

Easy is a questionable term, but I ran my wires through the grommet used for the hood release cable, as many do.
