help with supercharger gauge setup
just bought a supercharger for my 07 v6 (x-charger)
I'd like to install 3 gauges to help monitor it at the same time of the install. Please give a link to where you bought the following- (btw- I like the look of white faced gauges with needles over digital look, but am not against digital)
I am looking for an
A-Pillar triple gauge pod (need link for a 3 pod CONVERTIBLE)
Wide Band Air/Fuel- (need link)
Air/Fuel Gauge- (need link)
NEED YOUR INPUT- (on one of the following)
a) water temp
b) oil pressure
c) your choice

I had a Dynojet Wide Band Commander in my blown 2000 GT 'Vert. At the time, it was the best one around. Pricey though. But there is no better safeguard from going lean than this type of gauge.

If you are interested. I don't see the point in a water gauge when your cluster has one, no it doesn't show you a specific number. But when you are in the middle where its supposed to be, why bother? I would say a wideband and a boost gauge, and possibly an oil pressure gauge. I have just a wideband and a boost gauge. Also you will know your fuel pressure is off with the wideband since it will tend to lean out. I would look into getting a scan gauge II that plugs into your OBD II port. I love mine and it reads a ton of info off of the ECU and is very useful, not expensive either. Oh yeah and it will read your water temperature.

Most important aftermarket gauge you can get with forced induction is the wideband. That is the one I look at most often at the track. Boost is nice, but knowing your AFR is vital to knowing what is going on with the engine.

Why do you have 2 A/F gauges on there?
Do the new innovative:

All one unit, so no need to mount a wideband controller or anything else. I know its what I'll be going with when the time comes.
