I'm thinking of building a gauge pod for my centre console. I need to decide on what gauges, then I need to figure out just how many. I've measured up and and can have up to 6 if I want, but do I need them?

Here's my list of the basic units I want:

1. boost gauge
2. AFR gauge
3.
4.
5.
6.

I need recommendations, then I need suppliers. I'm not a manufacturer snob and am quite happy to fit different manufacturer's if they have the right features..

Racetec gauges are nice gauges :)

For me I'd have, oil temp, oil pressure, afr, act and boost :)

won't you need 2 water and 2 oil pressure, or are you only worried about the front motor ??

Oil temp, oil pressure, AFR, boost and water temp if you can fit it in. Racetech or stack gauges would be my choice.

G-Force meter surely with your driving Wayne!?!

I can only think of AFR and boost being anything I'd want over whats already displayed.

I personally quite like the AEM gauges.
