Default Gauges for boost

Hey guys, just wondering what all you boost guys use for gauges. well, at least what would work the best. of course a boost gauge and air/fuel, but what else is important? im going to have 3 main ones in my center console and im not sure what i should get for the third one? oil pressure? any help?

I have a zeitronix with EGT, Boost, and Wideband Air/Fuel. I also have a Dakota Digital Oil Psi. The zeitronix is the best setup in my opinion. Very clean and out of the way. Unless you want the look of the gauges of course.

Gonna be going with this:


AutoMeter Dual pillar gauge pod *tC exclusive* (Triple's are just excessive IMO)

AEM UEGO Wideband A/F

Stewart Warner 30"hg-15psi boost gauge (White LED):

O my bad. I think someone on here just ordered the autometer gauge pod. I remember reading something about it. I think it was only dual pod and it was black plastic so it didnt match.

I ordered a new boost gauge. It's a Cyberdyne digital. You can program it to flash at a certain boost level and it has a memory funtion to check maximum boost levels you reached. Thought I would post to show some gauge options out there. Now I have digital AFR and boost gauge woohoo. 100.00 shipped.

edit: I still have my beautiful brand new carbon fiber dual gauge pillars for sale...Im surprised no carbon fiber junkies have bought these yet...they arent that fake carbon wrap, these are actually 100% real carbon fiber and is a matching set for both A pillars.

My little brother has these on his tC. Someone should grab these cause they look amazing installed on the tC. They fit perfect. As far as I know they are extremely rare too.
