boost & vaccum gauge ?

[drew]

I'm new to the whole f/i thing so I need some help picking gauges. I need a boost / vaccum gauge and something else to fill the second slot in my pod lol. any recomendations on gauge brand / style ? I want something easy to read but not blinding

Maybe a aem wideband gauge?
Autometer gauges are good, especially for the price
I also heard megan racing gauges are good so you may wanan check them out

i don't know anything about aem wideband but i was told it was nothing but a light show, is it worth the money? i don't want a useless gauge so i was definitly thinking of a wideband a/f gauge

aem wideband isnt the light show autometer one that everyone buys because it looks cool.

i like this boost gauge

will that work, it doesn't say boost / vac it just says boost

the stuff below the zero is vacuum.

Minimum guages for a boosted car would be a boost guage and oil PSi guage very important things to monitor...after that a "Wideband" O2 and a EGT would be next...stay away from the "Narrowband" O2 (A/f) guages they are just light shows...auto meter are cheap and reliable guages, haven't really heard anything bad

so should I get oil psi and boost or boost and wideband a/f ?

good, so that defi gauge is good? i like them the best so i want to get them

[dickerdieter]

yea def get boost and oil pressure

If you really want to be safe, get Boost, Oil pressure, and a wideband gauge. At minimum Boost and Oil Pressure imo

[Loserkidwac]

Boost and OIL Psi are a must in my opinion the EGT and Wideband will mostly be used for tuning, but monitoring a/f ratio is important but you really can't touch a wideband for under $200...if you get your car tuned you will be "safe" and not really need a wideband...but plan to get one eventually

[drew]

if I get an SAFC2 I can use that with a wideband and not have to get a third gauge right ?

[den9]

whats the difference between wideband and narrowband?

[drew]

could I use
