Since I've allready ordered a gauge pod, I thought it was about time I ordered some gauges. But i'm not quite certain what to get. I was thinking one wideband gauge, one boost gauge and one oilpressure gauge.

I would really like three of the same manufacturer and type since thay are to stand right next to eacother. Does anyone have any tips?

I've been looking at AEM, only downside is that the boost gauge is with imperial marks, and I've would really like a metric one since that is the most natural to me.

Yeah, that's the thing, getting the gauges in the right measurements that you want, and also the right size - e.g. I decided to get the Innovate XD-16 gauge to go with the LC-1 wideband controller, but it only comes in 52mm (or it did when I bought it, anyway), so that led me towards getting 52mm for the other gauges.

I've got the same gauges as you suggest apart from oil temp rather than oil pressure. It's personal preference really.

The innovate seems quite nice, but they only deliver A/F gauges. So i would have to order the boost gauge and oil pressure gauge from another manufacturer. Pain in the ass really. Why can't someone make a complete set?

Looked at Autometer, but then again their A/F gauge is not to accurate. It only indicates of you on a lean, stoich or rich afr. If you want a accurate one, you suddenly have to pay 400$ because of a number of extra functions that i don't really need.

The XD-16 gauge from Innovate actually can pretty much display anything. There are interchangeable faces that come with it. You would need some other bits from Innovate to let it show you boost etc though.

I had the same problem, you can get analog Greddy ones, but i found a AEM in the middle doing AFR, and then a greddy each side looks good. (though mine do fuel pressure and exhaust temp)

Yeah I have put my AFR gauage in the middle, and the Defi ones on either side. Think it looks ok. Still need to sort the pod though !

Haven't been home for nearly a week. But I hope that both my gauge pod and my supercharger has arrived when I get home about a week from now. Have also ordered swaybars, so I think this is going to give the car a great lift.

Still haven't decieded on the gauges though.
