Gauges

I will be installing a SC on my 2005 in the near future. I have researched and seen many different options out there to monitor the performance of the car and how the car is running.

I have a two pod pillar gauge pod. Other than the obvious boost gauge. I am looking for the best gauge to install to monitor what the vehicle is doing. I was looking at the fuel pressure or EGT gauge. Any other suggestions, what would be the best and why?

Thanks

Instead of EGT I would recommend an Air Fuel Ratio gauge. I had boost and fuel pressure in mine. On my next build I'm planning on boost and AFR, or maybe a 3 pod with boost, FP, and AFR

I can cycle through and view everything. It also reads codes. Displays 4 values at once (2 per)

I recommend a/f wideband and FP foremost.

If you already have a boost gauge, get a fuel pressure gauge. It's more useful than a wideband IMO.

That said, I run a boost/vac, fuel pressure, and wideband.
