Boost & A/F Gauges

Hey guys,

I'm looking to install a Boost and A/F gauge on my Evo X, and am looking for the best compromise between Quality and Matching the Factory gauges.

If anyone can provide brands/pictures, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

VBG1 boost gauge, and you can use a LC1 wideband.

Both are clean installs, but yes I was thinkin about Dual Apillars.. I've used AEM gauged in my DSM before, and they matched pretty well, but wanted to use Analog rather than Digital and they have Red Needles, was lookin for one more in line with factory white-blue. I went to AEMs website and see that they can change the backlighting but not the needles.

I wouldn't be able to see over that...it's hard enough being 5'6 and sitting on the ground as I drive. Haha.

Someone needs to make a pod that puts one gauge to each side of the OE dash and, maybe, one on top, but as low as possible between the two bulges. By my measurements, this is the one way to get three gauges on top of the dash without reducing the amount of road that is visible.

yeah, I hate the way the above kills visibility. I have a rexspeed 2 pod A-pillar cover, but not installed yet. I'm really hoping DSG doesn't sell out in minutes like they did last time
