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..

I can only think of AFR and boost being anything I'd want over whats already displayed.
I personally quite like the AEM gauges.
