for real i really like the Defi BF Red gauges but i could use that extra money for so much more. I figure i need some gauges tho before i start with a bunch of mods

 

I like how bright your speedo and tach are, mine seems to be so dull. Did you run out and take those pics just me? jk

 

Of course!!! I've had those pics for a while.

At first, I only had a boost gauge, that was all I needed. I just decided to get those other two just cuz. What I really need is a wideband now.

 

I plan on doing mbc, cams w/ new springs and retainers, fuel pump, and injectors if its needed? sometime in the future gotta focus more on paying it off for right now

 

+1 to paying it off!

Here's the link to the glow shift site if you want to look around. I got the pillar from them too and it fits awesome, plus has the tweeter cut-out and you can get it in black or gray. The gray matches really well.

I had an autometer boost gauge POS for the longest time. Finally I caved and bought a defi bf amber boost gauge, the control unit, and the defi vsd concept II hud, and then bought a sensor for the oil pressure and temp. That thing was freaking awesome, and as long as it could control it, all you had to buy was the sensor which is like half the price of the gauge.

And I just saw a black Evo on, uh, 5600 S? And Vine. No post-it gun though

 

I can't believe you didn't have your post-it gun with you!!! FOR SHAME, shame.

 

So what would you guys say are the essential gauges?

 

Boost first, especially with MBC. Then a wideband, for tuning, then I guess eventually, egt, water temp, oil pressure, oil temp, trans temp, um...

 

oops

 

I know I know, I just came from Taco Bell from the Gym (that's right, I had taco bell after the gym). I parked like an ******* with another ******* Porsche owner... only his was a shiney new 997 TT... But we both took up two spots each, because we can. Shoulda had my post-its for him too

And it depends on how crazy you are going Josh, obviously boost IS essential no matter what. Then it goes from there as to what you're doing with the car. If you're just going crazy but not racing a whole lot then a wideband and maybe a good oil pressure would be good. For track racing eventually I planned to get this collection: boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, egt, and a wideband.

I would get oil pressure no matter what too, since I learned first hand (and so did my motor) that the stock "sensor" doesn't work till oil is all gone. Its not all fancy like the Porsche's (which is really quite handy and works just like a built in 0-5 bar pressure gauge, and I'm sure very under appreciated by all the rich ******* driving them around).

 

so basically every gauge made

 

Yeah! Muffler pressure, and blinker fluid level are essential.

Porsche and double spot hogging go hand in hand!!!

 

so basically every gauge made

 

all those gauges have to be good for like 5 whp
