Basically I'm getting my Comptech SC install today and have 3 NEW gauges left from my previous vehicle (Never Installed) and wanted to see if they are really worth installer?
Not sure which brand it is off hand but the 3 functions are:
Boost
Fuel
Exhaust Temp.
My installer said it should cost around $150 to install them, but it was up to me and it's more of eye candy than anything else. Just wanted to know if those that have them really use them and how much should it cost to install them. Should I install all 3 gauges (Exhaust Temp.???) or just Boost and Fuel? If you do recommend the installation please let me know where is the best place to place them.
The boost gauge is nice to have, but not neccesary with a SC. Exhaust temp and fuel pressure would be on the last of my list. I'd install a oil temp gauge, as well as a oil pressure gauge over all of them.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm working with modern garage and the FUEL gauge is actually Fuel/Air Ratio if that makes any difference. I am suppose to drop by later today to show them the gauges and will keep everyone updated.

An Air/Fuel gauge is definitely valuable. Are you using the AEM UEGO? Modern did the install of my gauges. Eric did an exceptional job mounting the A/F gauge right above the start button. The A/F gauge has been helpful as I've gone to various tracks at different elevations. I can easily do a WOT in 3rd and see how rich or lean I'm running and make adjustments directly.
I went with the Defi for oil temp and oil pressure. I like being able to set alarms, record sessions and peak values. Here's a pic of the install Modern did for me:
NO AEM and Christian told me the gauges I have aren't really worth it, so I am going to pass for now, but thanks for the tips. Your gauges look awesome though! Also noticed your from SLC and the Bay, I also reside in SAC, so hopefully I will see you in either places sometime.
gauges? should I install them?
