What up fellas, I'm pretty new to the Turbo world--I was just wondering what gauges would be most appropriate for a car that plans to be boosted moderately...as in nothing too crazy?

Also, any pictures of the gauge setup would be really nice too--any particular brands that you would recommend for and againts?

Thanks guys.

 

i'm only using a boost and EGT gauge. they're both 60mm greddy gauges. i've used autometer on my civic when it was turbo'ed and they were just fine, i just wanted something that most people don't comprehend (metric) measurements

 

 

do you guys know where I could get a 60mm gauge pod for the a-pillar?

sorry to jack your thread.

i think the general consensus is Boost, EGT and another guage of your choice, Such as Fuel pressure, oil temp, diamond plate floorplate bolt torque... etc... heh

Those halmeters and other narrowband voltage readers have proved to be completely worthless in my tests... Full on rich on them can be as lean as 14:1, for tuning i would recommend another unit... perhaps http://www.plxwideband.com or http://www.techedge.com.au

Lazerus, have you not seen the hype around this unit:

and I agree DFBT gauge is a neccesity, I alos have a big warning light that tells me where there is danger to the manifold...

I recommend greddy Not too expensive and they are very nice.

I bought the Greddy 60mm Universal Pillar Pod. Next time I'd like to try and dremel the gauge works gauge pod and see how that goes.

 

wanna go for a sleeper? how about just using your afc thats in the glove box for reading boost and use no other guages, thats what i got

I used to have all the autometer cobalt gauges but sold them all

 

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Here's another one in daytime.

damn dude! how long do you run them in open loop like that

I can only imagine the amount of distortion in the spray pattern after a good minute or so of open loop operation like that

I didn't have a clue I was maxin out my 310's. seeing that was aggravating but at the same time I felt that the datalog option pretty much paid for itself.
