Default Gauges

Hey guys I wanted your opinion on gauges. Currently I am debating to either do a single aem serial gauge with the ems or do a duel analog setup like a boost and oil pressure or egt etc.
At the moment I don't want to spend too much (300ish) on gauges and just want the essentials for a turbo setup. I know a wideband is preferred as well which i may get in the future but I don't plan on tuning the car myself. Now the reason I am thiniking of a analog display gauge is sim ply I like the way look over the aem digital. However if you think the serial gauge is definetly worth the option then I am all ears. What are some of you guys running. Again thanks for the help in my endless turbo search.

I have 3 additional gauges on my car...that looks/feels like 3 too many but they've been necessary and kept me out of trouble. The AEM single gauge is the way to go if you asked me but it is ugly and cheap looking. Get the EMS with built in wideband 1052-U and that will knock off a gauge and additional wiring.

I have 8 gauges


I like to monitor everything in real time though. If you want things less cluttered, the serial gauge is definitely the way to go.

i run a serial gauge, but recently saw the new PLX multi input gauges! Wow, the MOLED screen is amazing! Very high tech! I would go that route if i would do it again!
