Default Need help with gauges

Hey guys, can somebody tell me which gauges are easy to install? gauges that you can just tap with the wires in ECU. I need 3 gauges. Im planning to install with the creative compacts gauge pillar pod. Its only for looks. Please NO rice words.. Thanks!

Yikes.... there is no guage setup that just taps into the ECU... you'll have to wire in the sensors you need.... without FI, there's not much you do need.... you could run Voltmeter, Fuel Pressure, water temp... but for fuel pressure and water temp, you'll have to install and wire sensors....

getting an air / fuel ratio meter is good. voltmeter would be cool. And maybe an exhaust temperature meter would be cool too. I remember reading about some plug and play gauges from blitz, but you would have to buy the blitz main unit wire that, and then gauges just plug into that. im not exactly sure as to how it works so you may want to double check on that. They are a preety penny, but they do look good. but i guess if you can afford them, why not. lol. good luck!

On my old n/a cars I used to run an oil pressure, volt meter and vac gauge "vac gauge is an awsome tool. You will know when your air filter is dirty especially under WOT!" Also it moves ALLOT makes a good conversation item when passengers are in the car. The standard a/f gauge is pretty much bling only as they are WAY off usually. But they do make a killer light show! Only a true wideband will tell you what is really going on.
