gauges!!!

so I collection a few extra parts for my new supercharger build from the fine folks at ECS, and I was wondering what I should get for gauges? I deft going to get a 30psi vacuum/boost but not sure what I should get to fill the other pod, as I a going with a dual full pillar replacement.

I am installing a series of new gauges - boost, fuel pressure and shift light in a custom mount in the A-pillar triple gauge pod. In the radio bezel next to the shifter, I am mounting dual wideband gauges since I'm running one per bank.

Most people opt for a air/fuel ratio gauge, some go for a fuel pressure gauge, because low fuel pressure can literally destroy your engine.

If you're tuning the car yourself at all, you'll want an air/fuel gauge.

I have all Autometer gauges. They will be replacing the setup I currently have in the pic below in the A pillar.

The new bezel with provisions for the WB gauges.

A/F is a good idea.

My dual gauge A pillar pod has an A/F gauge and also a gauge that tells me all sorts of stuff like rpm, fuel pressure, oil temp, etc and has a built in shift light.
