Recommended gauges for boosted car?

MP3BOOSTED · 09-24-2019, 08:47 AM

As some of you all may be aware, I am installing my F1A-94 here in the next two weeks but haven't decided with what gauges to go with, any advice or recommendations is much appreciated. I wanted to go with a ngauge but don't like getting rid of the air vent just yet but who knows i'm interested in anything and everything you guys have in mind.

As far as SHOPS out there, SPONSORSHIPS WELCOMED lol. You help me i'll help you. This build has over 30K invested into it and has came out of my pocket, i'm ready to support those who support me. Lets work out a deal

Wrong section.

I run the NGauge in the little vent on the dash, not the actual HVAC vent by the steering wheel.

The pod that holds it still allows air to flow through in the event you need to use the defroster. That's the way I'd go IMO.

im looking for a boost gauge that matches the 2ss gauges also. black face, white metrics.

I was going to move put in a different section but thought it would fall best under bolt ons

. I wanted to go that route as well but then that would delete the area where i would put other gauges, would you say that the ngauge is everything you need or would like in my case the AEM failsafe gauge be good as well?

AEM AFR Xseries (so you can read via HPtuner without having extra wires)
Banks iDash Super gauge for everything else like (E85%, FRP, Low side, Spark, etc)

You can also use the aeroforce gauge. which is what everyone uses. I just dont like how it looks (but thats just me)

This is the classified section lol

In my opinion the gauge has everything that I personally need. I don't want e85 but the gauge is capable of reading that too with the appropriate accessories. The only thing it doesn't show unless I'm missing it is the direct injection fuel pressure

If I didn't have the NGauge already I'd probably go with what he has. I love the look. I had the Aeroforce and it was meh...I mean it did what it needed to do but the look was boring IMO.

Yeah i really like the gauge pod holder, i've been seeing the ones in the vent, i'm trying to picture if the ngauge would look funny with the suction cup mount near those gauges. I also don't know how to move this thread to the correct section.

just watched an overview of the banks idash gauge, really like it

I am running an AEM A/F ratio gauge and a Aeroforce Interceptor that reads a bunch of stuff but I have it set to boost and alcohol content.

if you could do it again would you go with the banks gauge or stay with aeroforce?
