Thanks,

I ordered everything I needed from ShowstoppersUSA. It was the first time I'd purchased a turbo kit and asked Chuck what I needed. Boost guage for sure, turbo timer (Greddy), and Boost Controller (Greddy). There isn't much tuning be done with the RevHard kit until I upgrade pistons, rings, valve springs, etc, so the air/fuel gauge wasn't necessary.

There isn't a single guage pod available to fit the EP yet. I purchased a c/fiber pod through the shop that did the install. Check my sig for links to pics if you like.

Check out USsi's ride and E.Smith's ride. Also Rocky from Showstoppers.

I had similar questions too. There is a triple gauge pod on ebay that I picked up, now selling for about $50 or so, click me. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2450238693&category=46100) I did some research and found that most people with boost have just a boost and A/F gauge, im gonna use the extra gauge hole for oil pressure.

I just got the autometer double and will have it painted and installed this week.

I'm running boost and Air/Fuel gauges. I'll most likely be replacing air/fuel with EGT though. I hear it's more precise.

It's hard to tell at night, but this is where my guages are. Boost guage where the hazards use to be. Greddy e-01 on right side of column. Turbo timer lower left and Tach on pillar(not hooked up to the coil packs yet,waiting for the adapter). What guages you use is kind of a mix between personal preference, what you have done, and to what extreme you run the car. However, it is commonly recommended to have a boost guage and some sort of a/f guage for reference. Most people prefer EGT guages as a more accurate indication if the the car is running lean or not. More simply put, depends on application and needs.
