Gauges

Just Wondering...
What kind of gauges do you have in your car? Maybe post a picture. What are the must useful gauges if you are planning to say N/A? Thanks ...

I would guess that a A/F gauge would be the most useful. Other than that maybe EGT, voltage, oil temp, can't really think of anything else.

If you're NA, a vacuum gauge is more or less useless.

i think a Air Fuel gauge would be much mroe appropriate. But none the less, nice clean looking setup.

Ive got, Volt/Vac/Temp/Boost/EGT and a turbo timer. I think the only gauges you really need are boost and egt (assuming your boosting). Air/fuel gauge and a wideband wouldnt be a bad investment also.

You could buy the kit to put guages where the cubbie hole is on the center dash....where most people relocate their radio.

Well if your turbo its definately best to get EGT/Boost,

For NA's I would think A/F, Volt, EGT or Oil
