Default gauges recommendations

I am just about to buy a A&A blower kit. I want to get two gauges, boost and vacuum and a rich/lean gauge. I found the two gauge pod in the autometer website. there seems to be electronic gauges that are way expensive and mechanical ones. which one do you recommend?? the pros and cons if you can explain. thanks. ed.

Wideband air fuel gauge and fuel pressure. You really dont need a boost gauge but it doesnt hurt.

AEM’s new X series gauges have gotten some great reviews and I’ve had good luck with innovate and zeitronix gauges although people hate on the innovate widebands

wideband youre going to need some sort of electronic gauge, no way around that. Boost you have the option of mechanical or electronic. Mechanical you'd run the vacuum line all the way into he gauge itself, very simple setup. Electronic, the sending unit could be mounted under the hood and then just some electrical wires to the gauge itself. Many of the electronic ones also will calibrate at startup so 0 = atmospheric pressure and have peak hold/memory etc. If you want the gauges to match then you're probably going to have to get something in the same series as the wideband and electronic.

I am planning on running AEM x series when I get there. Boost and Wideband. I have a fuel pressure sensor hooked up to the rail and have it wired into the EGR port, so i can datalog it, but don't feel like i need to see fuel pressure constantly
