ok, i got an 88 gxl chassis. im putting in a s5 t2 engine. its completely stock... except it's gonna be FMIC and an aftermarket BOV. so what gauges do i need. I know I'll need a boost/vacuum gauge because i'm using a full racing beat exhaust with the fuel cut controller, what other types of gauges are recommended. also, would you recommend electrical or mechanical gauges? is there a good website you know of that I can view these gauges? i'll prolly be using A pillar pods (2 1/6").

 

If you are going with a FMIC you NEED a water temp gauge.

Personally, I think Water temp, boost, oil pres/temp are what you need. And if you are gonna tune your car AFR/EGT. And for the gauges...electical. Not really a fan of running hot liquids that are under pressure over my feet/legs.

Here are my gauges...

 

nice, thanks for the info.

I like how you leave your key on your dash.

 

OMG, that is where my keys are! Thanks

what do you think about the autometer gauges on ebay? they are cheap, im not looking for anything too fancy. all the gauges in the summit mag are like $40+

 

I have Autometer Ultralite pro comps. I like them alot! Not sure on their quailty but they work and work better than stock. Not sure what is on ebay.
