Turbo setup

Ok I'm finally taking the plunge and boosting. I just need some help deciding on a gauge set up. At the moment I want to run a boost gauge (kinda obvious), an EGT gauge and a wideband O2 gauge. At the moment the options are 3 separate gauges, 1 combined setup using Zeitronix or something in the middle. Anybody have some thoughts on this? What kind of gauges do people have?

Zeitronix will do everything you need and a lot more.

That's what I was leaning towards since I like a nice and clean set up. What's the install like on the Zeitronix accessories? I was probably gonna get the harness for the main unit since I suck at electricals but what about the EGT and boost attachments? I spent like 2 days searching on that subject and couldn't find anything useful.

Drill and tap manifold for EGT.

Boost- run a vac line to the FPR and "T" into it.
Hookup +, - and signal to Zeitronix harness from sensor.

Wow that is pretty simple. Probably go with that then.

I used an AEM UEGO wideband, a regular old Boost gauge, and a Megan Racing EGT Gauge with probe.

AEM - Get a 2nd bung put in your exhaust (i put it in the bend before the flex pipe) and install the 2nd o2 sensor. THen just feed the wiring to the car and wire it up.

Boost - Tee off from the FPR vac line (if ur using a FMU its the same line), run that through a hole in firewall to the back of the gauge, wire it up

EGT - Mine was a 1/8NPT size threaded fitting. I just drilled a hole in the exhaust runner closest to the drivers side, about 3 inches away from the head. Tap it with a 1/8NPT thread, and screw it right in. Run the cable to the gauge, wire it up, done

My AEM wideband will be up for sale after this weekend when i pull it out as well as the EGT and boost gauges if anyone wants em. The AEM and Boost are in perfect condition, however the EGT has a slight scratch on the gauge face, i know a lot of people need their gauges perfect haha. The last month was spent pulling the turbo out and converting to stock since i blew an oil seal and i'm selling my lancer in the spring anyway. Starting her up this weekend and hoping my noisy valves/lifters go away with filled up oil and a couple of minutes of running. If not then the head comes off, ghey.
