I got my gauges / pods installed, here are the pics. The gauges / pods are all Auto Meter. The gauges are Air/Fuel, Boost, and Exhaust Temp.

do you have a V-AFC?

If not, what utility do these guages have? I assume the exhaust temp replaces the idiot light temp guage. Without a V-AFC I am too ignorant to know what utility the other two have.

I want to get an oil temp guage so I know when it's safe to put the pedal to the metal. Right now I use the idiot light 3-bar temp guage + 5 to 10 min or 5 miles (roughly) because I know for a fact the oil temp lags the water temp by a pretty good margin as far as getting up to operating temp goes.

Isn't this a ticket magnet for something like, "obstruction of view."
