I have to buy a Trans Temp gauge but will eventually get two more gauges for my 3 gauge pod. I'm curious what gauges you are using and what brand/series. For example, if you're using Autometer... is it the phantom II series, Elite, Prestige, etc. What issues have you had... not working correctly, color doesn't work all the time, wish you went with the electronic sending unit, etc. Any advice or experience will be helpful.

Fuel Pressure and Nitrous Pressure. Do I have to do everything for you?

Dual Aeroforce with a wideband. Would of had fuel pressure as well but the fitting didn't have an o-ring provision for my fuel rails so fuel sprayed everywhere.

Thank you Sir!
I'm leaning toward the ES Series also. Because it lights up in red.
Trans Temp and Water Temp. Maybe Oil Pressure.
Where does the Oil Pressure Sensor go?
Do you take out the stock sensor or what?

Not sure. If it's electric it should go in stock location, manual may be different.
I love the look of the es series because the red matches theme of my car,
I'm using the boost,wideband,fuel pressure,trans temp gauges.

PRosport evos light up red or blue (user selectable) and come with senders for $55-85. Much cheaper then aeromotive, digital, and super nice.

Auto Meter Ultra lites. I think they are simple to read at speed.

Innovate MTX-L Wideband, Autometer ES Series Fuel Pressure, and AEM Boost Gauge. Haven't tried out the AEM gauge yet but the others are excellent. The wideband and the boost gauges have outputs for data logging.

Pretty cool.
I'm wanting to mount the gauges in the A/C vents. I remember that someone made a fitting (adapter) that angled them toward the driver. So you could see them better, than being mounted straight in the vents.
Anyone know who make them?
