I already know that my little brother is getting me one for Christmas. I wanted to get a poll for those who have it...what gauges do you have in there? Obviously boost gauge is a must, but what else?
Lo-Tek 3 gauge A-Pillar

your options
boost gauge
fuel pressure
exhaust gas temperature
oil pressure
trans temp
intercooler temp
air/fuel
intake air temp
knock gauge
a clock
boost is a must
fuel is good to spot fuel pump problems, tune fuel pressure.
egt is good to moniter air/fuel ratio, fuel deliver problems.
trans temp good to moniter the trans that will die sometime.
ic temp is fun to watch, helps you want to do IC mods.
Oil pressure is low on the list, but is an important factor into seeing if your engine is going to die from worn bearings.
Air/fuel makes some cool light shows.
Intake air temp is real expensive, but would be nicer then IC temp.
My reccomendations:
boost,
egt or fuel
temp gauge you can switch from trans to ic

I have from top to bottom, IC temp which is a cyberdyne gauge then boost which is autometer and fuel pressure which is a cyberdyne also. I would go with trans temp instead of IC temp but that is just me. I have water temp and egt in the spot for the cup holder and am planning on adding trans temp and some others this winter.

Thanks so much guys!
Okay, if somewhat made up my mind:
Boost Gauge
Intercooler Temperature
Fuel Pressure
Now, are all these available in white-faced manual form (as opposed to a digital readout)? I totally have plans for white gauge faces in the stock cluster, and think a matching A-Pillar would look badass

I have Boost, Water Temp, and FP. The FP will be removed soon to make way for something else, not sure what, but the electrical FP gauges i feel are in accurate. I will be doing some testing on mine before i remove it, but I dont like the fact that it doesnt match my other 2 gauges either, so if anything, its gonna get moved out of the pod anyway.
