What gauges(w/ company) do you use or suggest in your boosted car? Boost, A/F, Oil Pressure…etc?
Prosport seems like a quality gauge and there cheap. Thats what I’m buying for my car.
EDIT: I’m going to run Boost/Vac, EGT, Oil Pressure.
AEM tru boost… its a digital boost gauge AND electric boost controller
AEM UEGO 6-1 wide band… need to know your AFR’s
coming soon AEM digital oil pressure gauge. keep the AEM theme going and i like the digital gauge
boost, egt, oil pressure, wideband A/F.
I dont have all of the same gauge but I like my autometer sport comp old school black face gauges. my egt is westach and my wideband display is a palm Vx pda.
prosports are pretty nice for the price too. 
if you want a high quality non flashy gauge, go westach. they are aircraft gauges and have everything but a wideband display.

prosport are garbage, as are auto meter and to a lesser extent stewart warner.
After being through just about every gauge out there I recommend ONLY Defis. SPA are nice too but extremely expensive and if you don’t calibrate it your gonna have hard time using it.
What is the point of having a gauge if it doesn’t do the job properly or last.
I would use Boost, EGT, oil pressure at the very least. If you want more data then a Fuel pressure gauge comes in super handy as we have seen the last few days.
A/F if you are tuning the car yourself otherwise if you don’t really understand what that means etc you don’t need to see it too often the tuner should have his own wideband.
i wish i could afford DEFI gauges for my car

yeah i can imagine…ill be putting in a LOT of overtime to pay it off lol.
my autometers never done me wrong. my gauges are right on line with all my logs, as they are in other cars i have had my hands on. they also seem to work in all the NHRA cars :gotme:
btw i try to have as little gauges as possible. i dont like the clutter. right now i have a boost and fuel psi gauge. probably adding an engine oil temp

No EGT??? Ballsy.
Every autometer I have ever used has blown. Plain and simple. I think skrapper had 3 boost gauges shit the bed on him. All those old guys get half those gauges for free and I would be willing to bet that they have never heard of Defi. Not too mention NHRA guys don’t need to worry about any gauges when they are going 4-6 seconds. Fuck who has time for gauges. Street car however…too me that is heavy duty use. Something that sees more time running in one drive than an entire season of events. Most NHRA teams have people that set the car up and all the driver does…is drive.
DEFI for the win.
Or some form of datalogging software.
