Default TRD supercharger gauges....

Hey guys whats up...I'm lookin at getting the TRD supercharger installed in next month or so and I was also gonna get the creative compacts 3-gauge pod to go with, only thing im stuck on is what guages to get...I'm going to get autometer brand, but what three gauges should fill it? so far I'm gonna get the boost gauge for sure. but what other 2 would you say I should get.

Oh and who ever has the TRD supercharger, are you happy with it? can you feel the power alot, or is it just ehh?

egt and oil pressure is what I would get. Or if you have money to burn, get a wideband o2 sensor along with a wideband a/f gauge.

If you plan on tuning the car, i would do Boost, EGT, wideband A/F. As for having the supercharger..

Don't expect a crazy sensation of being fast from it the boost comes on so late and its so linear that you don't get much of a put you back in your seat feeling, it essentially goes from being a mid 15 sec car to a mid 14sec car which still doesn't FEEL all that fast.. after getting a smaller pulley, intake, header, exhaust you will probably like it better. I was left wishing it had more oomff. But on the other hand, once you have it, your potential is much greater of being fast than it would be without it. Those are just my opinions on it.

I am extremely pleased with the supercharger. The ZPI pulley helps make it impressive. I don't even have intake, header, or exhaust yet. I think a header and exhaust will really uncork the performance.

Boost and EGT

u can usually tell a/f by reading the EGT. hotter than normal=leaner, vice versa. wideband is usually useless unless u can tune the ecu on the fly.
