Choosing some gauges.

Hello, so I've been looking into buying some gauges for my evo and I'm having a hard time picking the ones I want.

First I was just gonna get aem wideband and boost, but after reading reviews and all that good stuff I stumbled across some other gauges that I also like.

I came across the 2in1 aem failsafe gauge and i thought that would be good and i could just get a aem oil pressure gauge to go with it, but after reading more about it I found out it has the older 4.2 sensor so that kinda made me start to not like it as much. Then I realized it only reads boost up 30 which would be ok for now but down the line I might wanna push more than that, so now that gauge seems like it would have to be replaced eventually if I build the motor.

Now I've been looking at this Innovate psb-1 2in1 gauge but I've read some people having issues with innovate gauges.

So has anyone used the Innovate gauge (I couldn't find anything on here) if so whats your experience. Or should I just go aem and do separate afr and boost since it atleast goes to 35psi.

Thanks

I started off with just an Innovate ethenol content gauge, and then added an AEM boost gauge. No issues with either one, but I wish I would have just went with the innovate ECB-1. It covers ethanol content, fuel temp., boost and wideband O2. Even if you don't go for e85, you may down the road and you would have that covered when the time comes.

Ya I'm gonna go e85 Ive been waiting to see if the wtf flex fuel kit would come back in stock and you can just check it on an android. But if not I'm gonna get the driven Fab and it has its own gauge that I would probably just stick in the glove box I feel you really only need to see it when you fill up and even then it's not that important.

The only bad thing I read about the innovate was you had to recalibrate it and it's more difficult to install but I think all the things I've read about were the older 4.2 sensor and that psb-1 has the newer 4.9.

Well after reading everything I could find about other gauges it looks like its best to just go aem. Too many mixed reviews with innovate and with my luck I'll probably end up on the negative side.

Think I'll just get the x series of the wideband and boost gauges.
