Default What gauges

i have a s/c on my tc and a friend had a 3 gauge pillar and a auto meter ultra lite boost gauge he gave me... so i kinda wanna keep them matching.... which other two gauges would you guys pic to put with them? i wanted a air fuel gauge but i seen where it is only good to run wideband.... will a narrow band not work at all??? i really dont care about precise a/f because im mostly just got an intake on it and dont want to change pulleys right now because i kept having problems out of my s/c... so there is no need to have it tuned... so i figured that i didnt need a wideband.. so let me know what you guys would pic

they have Wideband A/F gauges made by Autometer. I personally don't know how good they are. But obviously AEM is the way to go.

For the other gauge, get oil pressure. So in all, you should have Boost, A/F Gauge (Wideband) and Oil Pressue. Not totally necessary, but if you want to fill up the holes it will work.

i don't know about that specific line from autometer...but autometer's electric wideband gauges are pretty good...i've had em in my old eclipse and now in my tC. You definitely NEED wideband, especially if you don't get it tuned because you have no way of knowing what you're a/f ratio is. Also i would recommend EGT gauge as it can help you monitor for lean conditions. If you want a third...i would say boost, just to monitor for boost problems, which have happened with a few people with the s/c
