Gauge selection
Hey guys need some input.
I was up late last night racking my brain on how to make this work and can't anyway to make it happen so I have to make a choice.
I need input on which gauges to put to the ride.
I have 4 gauges and can only fit 3 in a A pillar pod so one has to take a back seat.
Here are the selection:
Boost pressure
Oil Pressure
Fuel Pressure
EGT
I'm leaning towards leaving the fuel pressure gauge out for now unless someone can come with some creative ideas on how to make this work.
Does anyone make a custom pod for our sunglass compartment so i can fit 2 more gauges there. If someone does then I can also get a wideband O2 AFR gauge and just be done with everything.

read the thread I want to install a Wideband O2 AFR but I rather have Oil/Boost/EGT if I had to make a choice of just 3.

Also, if you're going FI, an AFR is a MUST...don't even think about running FI without it...IMO, oil pressure, although helpful, is a luxury...whereas AFR is a basic necessity. Don't skimp out on the AFR for oil pressure.

The cubby is already housing my Avic Nav system.
I don't use sunglasses so I wanted to see if anyone made a custom 2 pod system since i seen those on other cars.

you're not gonna fit a gauge up there...not without some serious custom work...there is nothing readily available. Google Zeitronix. You can fit that in the sunglass cubby...I did when I had the vortech.

Based on what you want, I also suggest you get the Zeitronix. With add-ons, it can measure several different things you want, in one unit. I didn't get it just because it would be hard to read on the fly.
I would do wideband, fuel, and boost. I did wide, boost and oil pressure and I feel the oil pressure is a waste. I would rather have fuel pressure so I know if my injectors are maxed or not working.
