Default what are some good gauges...

Yeah it's a simple question.

What gauge do you recommend? I saw some cheap ones on ebay but not sure if cheap ones will possibly be inaccurate or shitty or whatever. I'm buying one of those cluster gauge pods for my ek, and going to get a boost gauge and not sure on what other gauge to get.

What is a good cheap ebay gauge and other than a boost gauge, which should I get? afr?

Thanks nignogs

because i've never turbod a car nor have i bought gauges, which is the reason for this thread in the first place. I figured I would need an afr gauge, and would have bought one unless told otherwise. At least post something useful :P

highroller, I plan on running the wideband at all times and I'm purchasing the lc-1. I know the ecu uses a narrowband voltage range, do these gauges use the same or would I be able to use the wideband for the both the gauge and ecu?

you should look at 95% of the race cars in the U.S. they all rock auto meter gauges. then you go to your local car part store and they have them on the shelf. holy ----. you think they are good gauges?

as for the wb gauge. ---- that. run the plx

Heres something usefull Buy 2 A/F gauges,shove them up your ***, buy an LC-1 then throw it away and put the stickers on the outside of your car,then drive it off a cliff.
