Default What gauges should i get...

Hey all... used the search button and couldnt find anything on what gauges i should have when going F/I. What do you guys suggest? What three gauges are a must have or are most important in your eyes, and why.

Also on a side note, what brand of gauges should I count on? AEM? Greddy? And has anyone heard of a brand named Glow shift?

All advise and opinions welcome..... and thanks in advance

boost and wideband O2 are the most important. oil pressure, fuel pressure, and water temp are also commonly seen.

I like the defi gauges. their daisy chaining makes hook up easier

i did a search and found a few different threads on this exact subject...two were started last week! Anywhoo...
the most crucial 3 for F/I are boost gauge, A/F ratio, and oil temp. These are a must and should be monitored constantly. There's a few more other than those 3 that you should get, but those are really a necessity. Also, IMO, Autometer would be a great brand for gauges...c'mon, it's what they do!

www.jscspeed.com has Defi and is a site sponsor, hit them up for pricing! They look incredible and the memory function is pretty cool. Get a Boost, Oil Pressure and EGT or Oil Temp as an excellent trio of FI gauges.

If the BF series are too rich for your blood the Blue Racers are top notch at a slightly cheaper price tag.
