which gauges to get?

Im gonna get some gauges but cant make up my mind on which pod and gauges to get. I either want the sterring wheel dual pod , rexpeed tripple pod in the dash. Im also not trying to spend tons of $$$ either.

So far i think i want the dual gauge pod with automter sport comp II boost gauge 30-30. however im not sure on what other gauge to get. im thinking oil Pressure because i hear oil Pressure is a cars heart beat and is critical. but i kind of want the AEM a/f widband. is the wideband more inportant then the oil Pressure? so then i say ill just get a rexpeed tripple pod with all 3 gauges. but i dont want to drill holes in the dash to run the wires. And i dont want a tripple piller because it looks rice.

Also would you get sportcompII gauges or ultralight II. i cant make up my mind. one day its ultralight II the next its sportcompII

I really need some input on what i should get and do. thks





Here are some pics that have made making a decision hard.

My car is going to look exactly like the evo in the first pic when i get my gauges. Imo its important not to go cheap on your gauges because you need a good indicator that everything in your car is going smoothly when you start modding. That being said I have a lot of confidence in defi and their amber gauges look so nice, and i also prefer the rexspeed pod over the rest. I even have the v1 in that first pic

I like the a-pillar style... But like someone said, its personal preference.

here is a pic of m3this set up. i did mine the same way and its very easy, no need to drill any holes in the dash. there is a small square removable cover in between the windshield defrost vents, just pop it out and run your wires down it. remove the radio to help run the wires down behind the dash. i have had some of the other guage pods and prefer the rexpeed pod because its easy to view the gauges without taking your eyes off of the road.
