I am looking for something for the 240.
A/F is useless, boost should be fine seeing as how it's a mechanical gauge.
A:F is not useless, i've got a WB to tune with, but it's big and ----. the A:F will tell me real quick if i am loosing fuel at WOT (dead injector, loosing fuel pressure, whatever).

I looked all through autometer's site, they don't have any usefull full-sweep electronic gauges, and I really don't like mechanical gauges or short sweep electronic.

you do realize that those wideband gauges are made for narrow band o2 sensors? narrowband is useless. why didnt you buy a wideband with a gauge or just use some type of datalogging program to log what its reading. rather than going with a worthless gauge that just goes back and forth . IMO waste of 50 bucks or how much that damn thing costs

I do have a wideband & laptop to use to tune with, the A:F gauge is just to keep up there while driving. It should read consistantly while in open-loop. If I see it drop lean sudenly I'll know to let off and check with a wideband before continuing. It's kinda hard to carry a laptop & convertor box everywhere with me, or to stick a laptop on my dash.

First I asked for facts, not opinions. I have a pair here, I know how they look, and how visible they are. Icould have been more specific in that I would like to know how consistant the temp and pressure gauges are.

I had a set of "3A racing" gauges that were withing 3% of snap-on gauges for temp & oil pressure, I wondere'd if the megan's would be of similar construction.

Autometer does not make anything to my liking, no full sweep electronic gauges except the nexus series, and those are all $150+ and need a controller.

can you wire the light to a switch so that they are only dark when the switch is on?
