good price... u can use the A/F gauge... ur not boosting though so u would have no use for the boost meter ... id buy them, install the A/F and sell the boost gauge ... this is a win win ... u can prob sell the boost gauge alone for 50-60 on ebay ... so its kinda like ur getting the A/F for free... go for it

then buy another gauge to fill the empty space... you could maybe even keep the boost gauge for later times.

Which Air/Fuel gauge is it? You need to make sure it, or you, can hook it up to read a wide band O2 sensor. Then you can hook it up to a factory O2 sensor. If its not a wide band then you will have to mount a narrow band (duh?) sensor into one of the down pipes, PITA. But either way it should not matter, the narrow band will be more work.

check out what series of autometer they are ... then look them up and see if u like them... autometer makes a cheaper line of gauges that arent that nice or anything and they cost less...

A boost gauge WILL NOT read nitrous applications.

What? No dude, boost guages measure boost levels in a SC or T, not nitrous.
