If you want bling get a Apexi Turbo Timer, it displays volts. Mazdatrix sells a dual gauge pod.

Put a Greddy Profec B in and read the boost off of it.

autometer makes a regular a pillar gauge holder for ~$35
I dont think that the price of a CF one would be worth it, even tho I dont know anyone who makes any.

For a voltage gauge you can do what I did. Installed a factory voltage gauge from an NA FC. It goes in the place of the stock boost gauge, which is useless anyway if you have an aftermarket boost gauge...

Oil temp, water temp, oil pressure. IMO those are the 3 essentials that you need.

Use the defi system if you plan on getting more monitoring devices later. The hook up is simple, and the expansion is great.

i have a defi boost gauge already installed i want to get more defi gauges but the only people that i seen make the volt gauge is autometer might just have to get that so i take it that no one makes a pillar gauge made out of carbon fiber can i get some peoples thoughts about apexi turbo timers i already have a apexi turbo timer but its not installed is it worth the installation should i install it thanks for all the help so far keep it coming

I've always been tempted to try that one. As far as quality of Autometer gauges the one in my 89 track perfectly with my Apexi ACVR but the one in my 87 is like 2 psi off the zero of the stocker. I need to test it.
