Default Guage system

Anyone know of a good guage system? I want to add a few electric guages to my pillar. I want to monitor Boost, Air/Fuel and/or Temperature.

Temperature of what...oil, tranny, water, exhaust, air intake? I decided to do oil temp and pressure on mine.

Most air/fuel gauges are useless unless you go with a wideband setup. Since I already had my car dynoed, I know that my A/F ratio is safe. I'm running a narrow band mainly for the "bling" factor.

Just about any boost gauge should work well since it's just reading vacuum. A cheapee type is ok. It all depends on the look you want to achieve.

Bill's Defi setup is badass. However, it's really overkill with a supercharged car running stock boost. If you plan to up the boost in the future, a setup like his is a good way to go. If you plan to use stand alone fuel management in the future like AEM, they make a 19-in-one gauge that plugs into the AEM unit and monitors 19 different functions with just one gauge.

I'm running Nordskog digital gauges in my radio door. They actually look stock and match the S2Ks digital display well. I wouldn't count on them being very accurate. But, they do help give me some peace of mind. If you want to take a look at my setup, just let me know.
