What are the best gauges?

[bombout800]

What is everyones favorite gauges(BRAND NAME), along with which ones are needed?
Boost
a/f
oil pressure
fuel pressure? Isolater?
egt
water??
what else? I know i have to be forgetting something. Just something to laugh about i saw a guy on the net one time that had 15 gauges! 15! he had a custom b-pillar triple gauge cluster made. 3 on the a-pillar, two in the speedo den one on the steering wheel column, 3 on the dash over the radio, and 3 right in front of the overhead console! I just laughed. He had everthing monitored. I thought it was a little overkill! But crazy looking!

Boost and wideband, thats it.

Thats all i have now myself , wideband and boost. I like Defi' gauges myself.

Needed? Boost and EGT. Once you get into tuning, then an AEM UEGO a/f ratio gauge would be the way to go.

Oil pressure is good to have as well

Boost, oil pressure, wideband. Prosports.

Right now I have boost, EGT, and a wideband gauge on the drivers side pillar. And then I am going to put an oil pressure and something else in the center AC vent. My brand, is Greddy and AEM. It color matches my dash almost. As for basics, boost and EGT for now. If you have the means for a wideband, do that instead of the EGT.

Anyone have any good experiences with STRi gauges? I searched over this forum and there hasn't really been a direct review. I was debating to get Prosport but there has been so many mixed reviews; some people love them, some people have problems with the senders, and others get faulty gauges. You think it's worth the extra 50 bucks for an STRi (Prosport $90 - STRi $140) and relieve the headaches of possible sender failure from the prosports?

Best gauges? The ones that work! I have an autometer boost gauge (pretty dam accurate after comparing it to a defi gauge) and i also have an aem wideband.

Either GReddy or Defi

Thanks for the link SNOWBOARDER. I did a search but the search i did didn't show up any specifics of what i was looking for. So i just made something simple and easy to search for.

I think ill stick to autometer. Very easy to install.. Very simple design while lasting long and looking good! Thanks for the replies! Im used to forums that take hours or days for responses!

Prosport ftw!

They have a good combination on quality and good prices. This threads not really about the brand though, oh well.

I think its funny that back then, it was boost, egt, and water temp/oil temp. Did they have wideband 02's back then? A wideband is pretty much a must for serious tuning.

I fixed it for ya. Now it really is about the brand. Thats what my intentions were, but when i looked back at it, it wasn't getting the point across. It looked like what are your favorite gauges(boost, egt) not brand name. My bad
