Oil pressure, wide band and fuel pressure.

Most other than that you can get out of the OBDII port...

I went with aeroforce scan gauge, boost/vacuum, and WB air/fuel.

With the scan gauge, I have it set to show water temp, which helps to know when the car is warmed up and ready to go...
Also, when I threw the belt, the water temp gauge was one of the indicators that led me to diagnose the issue before any damage was done, I was pulled off the side of the road before the dummy temp gauge in the cluster went to hot.

Im considering using a 3 guage pod from autometer using analog ideband AF, fuel press, and boost/ vac. Then using 2 rousche guage pods in the center for coolant temp and oil temp.

How big a range would I need on the fuel press guage?

Get the SOS pillar gauge. Its a perfect fit and match as its made from OEM parts.

Heres some pictures of my A/F, Vac/Boost, and Scan gauge II. I really love the scan gauge, displays so much just from the OBDII port and is very useful.



PS. I have a "MPH" readout on the Scangauge because I was seeing the difference between the speedo and what the ECU was reading!
