Default STS Turbo (Gauges)

What gauges are nessary with boost. I already have a boost gauge and I still have a an extra spot in my pillar. Whats everyone using. Is the air/fuel gauge a waste of money?

Default hey

Use the extra space for a fuel pressure gauge.

As far as the air / fuel gauge it isent the most accurate, good for the cool factor. you' can use the wideband air fuel gauge which is the best.

Mine has a fuel pressure gauge too. Not cheap, but it's good info to know.

Without one, if you are running lean, you don't know for sure if it's too little PE, or too little fuel delivery from the tank...

An electric fuel pressure gauge is a must.... u cant use a mechanical gauge in the cab..... if you go with a A/F gauge get a wideband one like the one Innovative Motorsports make... there a lil spendy but way worth it.

This in a Bird or a Camaro??? Only asking cause in a TA You use the A/C vents with 2 5/8 gauges...
