Would it be fine if I ran all my power lines from each gauge into one power wire for the whole pod?same for the ground.... Also where on my ecu do I tap in for an a/f gauge? I've looked around and can't find anything for a 1g. Only 2g and i didn't think it wouldn't the same. Your help is greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. Lol
 
the gauges you can daisy chain just make sure you use a fuse.

the A/F gauges are garbage if you have to get the signal from the ecu.
you have to get a wideband gauge/sensor to get an accurate reading.
 
Here is a great way to wire your gauges. This way all your gauges turn on when you turn the lights on and the work with the factory dimmer switch. As for the A/F gauge, I have no idea but if you want to get an accurate reading of your air fuel ratio then you need to get a wideband o2 gauge.
 
What's the difference between wideband and an a/f gauge? I'm not familar with that stuff....my car is stock besides exhaust for now and im kinda on a budget :(

Wide Band Oxygen Sensors
Introduction

Up until relatively recently, all oxygen sensors were of a type known as narrow band sensors. The reason these sensors are called "narrow band" is because they are only able to tell us if the air/fuel ratio is above or below a single known amount or a single narrow range. It can tell us that the mix is either rich or lean, but it doesn't tell us how rich or how lean the mix is. More information about narrow band sensors can be found in the article, Oxygen Sensor Adjustment - General Information.

Wide band oxygen sensors are also called wide range oxygen sensors, air fuel ratio (AFR) sensors, or just A/F sensors. They are called "wide band" sensors due to the fact that unlike narrow band sensors, they are not only able to tell the computer if the air/fuel mix is rich or lean, but how rich or how lean it is. It is able to signal to the computer a wide range of air/fuel mix readings. This makes it much easier for the computer to make adjustments to the fuel trim to achieve it's targeted air fuel ratio.

Best explanation I have found yet as far as simplicity goes. Although the wideband you will see discussed on this site is only to log and monitor your AFR not to assist your ECU in adjusting fuel trims (you will need to do that manually with your engine management or piggy back unit)

We have several affordable options PM me for pricing.

I have another question...... What if it's only goin to be temporary and a gloshift boost gauge and this gloshift A/F gauge are 40 bones. Would it be worth tapping into the ecu then?
