gauge advice...por-favor

So I really need to get an aftermarket temperature gauge. And Im interested in taking the pillar/pod route and im a fan of the 3 gauge look. So if I get the water temp gauge and the boost gauge what do you guys recommend for the third? Oil press..oil temp..volt or a/f ratio thanks

You dont absolutely need a boost gauge if you are running stock boost or if you are short in cash , boost gauge you can always get later

get a pfc, use the commander for water temp, knock, boost (displays max), and intake temp
use a-pillar for afr, oil temp, and either oil pressure, fuel pressure, or boost (easily visible)

I have from top to bottom;

water, with warning light and highest temp memory
AF/R
boost

If the water temp ever gets to high, you can't miss the warning light.
Everything else is on the PFC, and boost controller.

Water - Boost - AFR

Does anyone perchance know of an AFR gauge that matches the Defi BF amber series?

The AEM Wideband is not a bad option. Can't really call it a 'match' but close enough. =)



It also comes with a silver trim ring and a white face. Oh, and it's Wideband. :thumbsup:

make sure you get a new uego if you do because some of the older models have problems interfacing with the pfc datalogit, if you're not going with a PFC then don't worry about it.
