Experienced FI guys, please choose 3 guages for my F1-A setup..
I'd rather hear input from the guys that have already ran the guages that you recommend. (Been there, done that)
I already have a triple pillar pod. I believe the ones I need are 2 1/16''. I'm looking to buy a boost guage, fuel pressure guage, and a good wideband. I'd prefer them all to be the same style, preferably autometer, preferably electrical, and don't want to spend a fortune however I want some accurate, sleek-looking guages.
Thanks in advance guys,

Well you have the right types of gauges picked out (boost, FP, WB). I will tell you that i absolutely LOVE my autometer nexus gauges. I have the same ones (boost, FP & WB). Only downside is that they will definitely break the bank unless you can find a used set. I happened to get lucky and got all mine with the controller for $550 used.
They have so many benefits though that regular gauges dont. You can change the colors on them, set danger zones to where if they get in a specific zone they will change colors and flash, you can see the peak value too that they reach afterwards as well (this really helps with boost so you can make a short run and then pay attention to driving and just hit the peak button and it will tell you what the highest spot you got to). You can even record them all too and then play back a run and see how everything worked together. During playback, you can pause, go real time, or go slow motion, or go in small increments. You can also get software to log them. Pretty slick gauges. Check them out here:

I'm running 6 glowshift blue digital gauges (WB, FP, WT, OP, OT, BG). They are economical, work excellent, and have the best customer service of anyone I have dealt with. The numbers (digits) make more sense to me than trying to track a needle while referencing the gauge face in the background. Much more user friendly, espeically when you're scanning over several gauges simultaneously.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm really narrowing down to the autometer digital or nexus guages. Can any of you guys post pics of your guage cluster when you get a min? Thx

I Just ordered a triple set of aeroforce, Cost 550 for a triple set. Then added the fuel pressure sensor for another 65$ I personalty don't see how you can go wrong with the Areoforce. they display 2 parameters at a time, so my three gauges will be like having 6, Or you can even set them up to cycle through 8 parameters if you like. And they simply plug in to OBD2 and get all the readings from your computer, They also have s light in them that you can program as a shift light. Or warning light. You can see and clear coeds with the gauges to. And have fun little futures such as 0-60 times and 1/4 times. Though doubt they will be much accurate. But im always looking for the best bang for the buck and in my eyes this seems to be it.
