New Gauge Itch!!!

Hello,
I have a boost and Oil Pressure gauge installed already and was thinking of adding some more. Any thoughts?????

I was leaning toward a Volt Gauge and Air/Fuel Gauge.

Anyone have an Air/Fuel gauge? Is it cool looking?? would you suggest it??

I am looking at Autometer Ultralite to match the OEM gauges and my boost and oil pressure.
Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also thinking about adding some additional gauges beyond the boost and oil pressure. Probably will go with oil temperature (which I think should have come with the boost gauge instead of the oil pressure gauge) and maybe an inlet temp gauge.

But that's just me.

Do the wings fold up so you drive on the road and fold out so you can fly. I have all of those gauges sitting on my desk. Father worked at an airport and I got some of the old not need/broken gauges.

Take a look at my gauges in gallery

I currently have 9 auxillary gauges (6 Defi, 2 Autometer, and 1 Innovate A/F) plus a G-Tech Comp Pro. If you plan to stay with the Autometer Ultralites and want a total of 4 gauges, I recommend the following:

Boost
Oil Temperature
Oil Pressure
Intake Air Temp (single channel)

I at one time had the Autometer A/F gauge and found it to be virtually worthless, and the flashing lights became very annoying. Definitely not cool! If you "need" an A/F gauge, then you should go the wideband O2 sensor route. The Autometer is narrow band. Good luck....

ive found the most important gauges in any car to be oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, voltage and a/f.

in my car, i just selected the easiest to install and went with that.

Boost, Volts, Oil Temp and Water Temp.

So far, so good, its working out nicely!
