Arrow Gauge Pod.. What Gauges Should Go Where?

Tomorrow I will be installing my 3 pillar gauge pod and have the following gauges to go in them

Wide Band 02
Water Temp
Fuel Pressure


What order would you put the gauges in? 1 (closest to face) 2 (middle) 3(lowest part of gauge pod)

1) Water Temp
2) Wide Band 02
3) Fuel Pressure

Water temp will be your least important out of those three IMO, so put it at the bottom.

Wideband needs to be more eye level same with FP. But thats just my opinion.

I thought water would be crucial.. Wouldn't want your motor to over heat. I agree with the Wide Band....

Thanks Mike i will take that into consideration.. I am also installing your shift light tomorrow too

Are you talking about the gauge itself or the controller to make it work?

Hey man, how you been? Whichever is most important to you (or the one you'd like to keep your eye on most) put at the top, eye level.

Yea, but you cant still monitor your coolant temp on the dash, you cannot monitor your FP or wideband in the stock cluster. So out of those three gauges the water temp is least important.

Post your final installed pics when your done.

Hey Jonas! How have you been? Put your wideband at eye level since it's the most important. Second most important is the fuel pressure is second most important, so place it accordingly on the pillar. Water temp isn't a big deal since you will never have to keep your eyes on it during wot etc. You will only ever have to glance over at it every minute or so. Let us know how it goes!
