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.

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.

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.

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.

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 **** to hide those 'modules' they each have. With AEM everything is built into the gauge body, nothing to hide other than wiring.
