Gauges

What do you guys think of gauges, not super charged (yet)...so probably exhaust temp and air to fuel ratio. EAS has a nice set up that mounts behind the steering wheel. Also how much do you think an install might be on something like this?

i dont think gauges are worth it unless you have a FI system or really need to monitor everything while racing, like on a dedicated track car, even then it still might not be necessary. but if youre planning to get a SC for sure, why not i guess. the only thing, im not sure if they will have to be rewired after the install.

btw eas's kit is really nice, perfect place to the put them if you ask me...

+1 boost is the only fun one to watch. I'd probably do oil pressure opposed to exhaust gas temp though.

Pointless. Even with a supercharger. Boost is constant, afr is constant. Waste of money and space
