Analog Gauges, which type?
Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for analog gauges? I'm looking to purchase an Analog Boost and A/F gauge. While I love the Auto Meter Cobalt series, I'm not looking to spend $580 on two gauges. Thanks.

what prices are you seeing for those gauges?
I ran the Autometer Cobalt Boost and Trans Temp and A/F meter in my F-150.
paid about $40 for each one brand new on eBay.
edit: the analog A/F (narrowband) is cheap...the wideband is like $250 though...but well worth it IMO
edit #2: damn, prices have gone up since 2008.

For boost, you can do the mechanical; those run around $50-60. I have a autometer 3301 for $54 shipped, new inbox with everything. SportComp series.
For wideband, there's a lot of choices. And you do want to go with the full wideband, not the 'stock' or narrowband, as that's useless. There's a lot of wideband possibilities. I use a PLX AFR sending unit to a VEI digital gauge.
If you want a wideband analog gauge, your choices for gauge will be smaller, but hopefully any 0-5v sending unit/sensor can provide the wideband signal you need.

I just finished installing gauges and loved the outcome; I have a thread on here showing them and will be posting my build soon.

I like the Speedhut Revolution Series gauges. They can be customized the gauges for your needs (Color, Font, Finish, number range, ect).
Analog A/F gauge: $113 - A/ F Wide Band custom Gauge (w/ Dual Peak) 2-1/16
Analog Vac/Boost: $169 - 30inhg - 20psi (w/ Dual Peak)2-1/16
Gauges = $282
Innovate Motorsports LC-1 Wideband Controller: $199
Total = $481 for custom gauges and great WB controller.

Thanks for all of the feedback. After researching other gauges, I decided to bite the bullet and have the following installed at Brenspeed. Better be worth ever penny.
* Auto Meter Cobalt 6159 Boost gauge
* Auto Meter Cobalt 6178 A/F meter
* SOS double gauge pillar
* Auto Meter Cobalt 6159 Boost gauge
* Auto Meter Cobalt 6178 A/F meter
