What do you think about this gauge set up.
OK guys I was just wondering if I could have some input on this gauge set up I am considering. My car is all stock right now except an AEM SRI. I also have an Evo X BOV on the way with a hallman MBC, I obviously need some gauges before I can turn the boost up. I am thinking of going with prosport gauges, Amber/white. I think I would like to do a triple gauge A pillar with Boost, EGT and oil pressure.
What do you guys think?

I'd skip the EGT for now and kick in the few extra pennies and get a WBo2 like an LC-1 or ZT with a gauge.
Prosport sells a switchable WB/NB gauge that can read both.
Success with the Prosports, in my experience has been average. I have a friend who has had 2 sender units go bad on his FP gauge, 1 bad sender on the OP, and a bad FP gauge itself. I have some prosport gauges though and have had no problems at all.
In addition, I'd spring for at least the premium boost with the peak hold.
Not to self - That should be 50 and none of them are worthless. You are just now allowed to post in the FS forums, even though I already have a trader rating of 5.
Edit - Apparently, this post doesn't count. Some rules have to be questioned.

I was thinking I would wait for the wideband for a while, until I get ready to tune, I will prob do premium boost and just standard on the other two. Is the EGT really worth anything?
EGT works if you have a baseline to start with. Effectively, you can figure the fuel mixture by the temperature of the exhaust stream. Unfortunately it's not as scientific as it once used to be. EGT was the only way to tune several years back. I know Brent Rau used to use a 4 channel digital EGT on his Eclipse back in the day.
If you have a starting number for a specific temperature and can relate that to a specific AFR, you should at least be able to tell if you are leaner or richer from the baseline, but by how much is someone elses guess.
I'm sure there is data about it online but with the advent of the WBo2 in common use, the EGT is somewhat of just another gauge. It does have a fairly fast delta though and isn't affected by running leaded gas which is nice.
