Default POLL:!! Which gauge should i buy?

OK this is basically the same as my other post but im going make this one a poll... I need to know what gauge to get with a boost gauge. I heard a whole bunch of different gauges. I live in connecticut so oil temp is not a huge issue. MAKE YOUR VOTE HEARD!#@!@#$@$^%@% OR DIE!

VOTE

thanks all,

-IAN

p.s. these will be going in the gauge pod that Hosrom has hooked us up with a discount so go buy one! https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...6&page=5&pp=15

And it will be my boost gauge on top and the poll is for what gauge to get on the bottom.

How about fuel pressure????

If you're dash clock is not working, get the narrowband from rennbay (drop in replacement)

If you're clock is working........fuel pressure gauge or narrowband (since you are not concerned about oil temperatures)

Thanks for that link

You can drill and tap for a sender and route it to a gauge inside the cabin.

I voted for the narrow band. Only because most of the selection would be redundant to the factory guages. Also it would depend the tune of your engine, which I'm assuming is close to stock. (chips, exhaust, MAF/MAP, boost enhancer, shimmed waste gate is close to stock)

WB O2.

EGT It is pointless if you have not "tuned" your car and drive like a Nanna.

I have to disagree with your friend, an EGT gauge is far from pointless. Narrowband on the other hand, thats pretty pointless.

I would go for EGT only if you are REALLY going into tuning the car you're self (talking timing here)
