I would like input from those that have aftermarket gauges other than an aftermarket boost gauge in their car. I have a 2 pod setup, and i already have a boost gauge.
My question to you all is, what do u think the second one should be and why?
What ones do u have, why do think it is useful?
I have researched this but I am still unsure.
The only other gauge i thought could be useful/used daily would be a EGT, cause from my little experience with one, say when i was doing a 3rd gear pull with someone, i would downshift and stay steady waiting for them to downshift, and the EGTs would rise even though i was holding a constant RPM & MPH. (This could be from tuning, right? (or lack of))

Thx

I'd say get the EGT gauge also. I went with the A/F gauge and it's been useless to me for the past 2 yrs :D. I was a newb when I bought it :(.

EGT, Oil Pressure, or temp. The stock gauges are not that accurate and the levels have to fluctuate a lot for the gauge to move. This especially applies to the temp. EGT would be my first choice though after a boost gauge.

Or you could be a real baller and put a clock in it.http://www.tcstangs.com/forum/images/smilies/nod.gif

oil pressure over an EGT gauge, unless its a diesel tow rig, then I would install both.

Sell your dual pod and get a triple pod. Then put a boost gauge, wideband and oil pressure. Do it right the first time.

-p.s. do some research about what kind of gauges you want. Don't just get cheap ones, they WILL go bad.

Oil pressure or wideband.
EGT's are awesome to see in airplanes and diesel trucks.

Altimeter, or possibly a compass, but only if they don't have the analog clock option.

Seriously though, a wideband would be really badass, and would be worth saving up for.

Voltmeter, actually, because i know they are usually pretty inaccurate. I wouldn't mess around with cheap stock gauges or expensive ones that aren't necessary like boost, oil pressure or egt. I think those guys were actually joking. Voltmeter all the way.
