Cadillac CTS-V - Gauges

Picking up a maggie soon and looking into gauges... any thoughts? really only wanted a boost gauge but was thinking possibly adding a fuel pressure one also. I'm a simply guy. lol pics and ideas would be great. and where to purchase from. thanks in advance.

a boost gauge would be more of a pretty thing to look at then super useful. I would install a wide band O2 and do a digital AFR gauge.

Where can I buy them from? I heard of the wide band...thanks and where did you mount them?

I have a single boost gauge on the A pillar.

Modified the stock a pillar trim and relocated the Bose speaker higher in the panel. I have another one that is made, just not covered if you are interested.

I did a dual pillar setup using interceptor gauges...

Innovate motorsports sells wideband kits

Damn, those things look good! What gauge pillars did you guys use? I think I remember hearing the 89-99 Chevy truck fit the best? Also, where did you guys find the fabric to recover the A-pillar?

I have an AEM wideband that I got from summit, I only use it for tuning though. It was the cheapest one that reads Lambda as well as AFR (have to log in Lambda for Ethanol blended fuels when tuning) so you might be able to find something a little cheaper if you are looking for a strictly AFR gauge.

I used a cheap auto zone generic pod and a hairdryer to heat it up and form it to the pillar... And some flexible bumper bondo to blend it in. Right now it's covered in felt, but I have a used headliner I bought from another member to get a more factory match one of these days.

Here's the wideband that I used:

STay tuned for a write up.

I glassed mine from scratch and bought some material that matched as close as possible. The factory cloth is not available from any supplier I have found. My mom did upholstery for over 20 years so she can get lots of factory stuff but this stuff was hard to find. Honestly you don't even know it's not factory if you didn't know what it looked like before hand.

Never seen any gauges in the V that actually looked good. If you have to do one do wideband over any other.

I have a dual pod that I've had for years that I was going to use on my 2nd TA but never did. I need an extra Tan A Piller because I think I'm going to use it finally.

Yep wideband AFR is the most useful. Having said that I wish I'd stop staring at it and running over neighbours in my street.

I have 2 AEM gauges, boost/wideband. Now thinking of getting the new soon to be released AEM boost/afr integrated gauge and adding fuel pressure.

I like the look of plx gauges but pain in the arse to hide those 'modules' they each have. With AEM everything is built into the gauge body, nothing to hide other than wiring.
