superchager guage ?
 
If you supercharge your car do you need to get a boost and wideband air fuel guage they are pretty expensive and i dont want to have to spend the money on them. Info? thanks for the help

if the cost of two gauges scares you, you might die of a heart attack when looking at the total pricetag of a supercharger, install and dyno tune

you can get two nice autometers for like 500 total on ebay...compared to say 5000 for a procharger or say, 5800 for a kenne bell....add like 1000 for a install/tune (lowballing it) and the price of gauges turns out to be chump change

you have the money; buy them. they will be your first line of defense to sense something is going wrong with your set up. it could save you from a blown engine.

If you want some nice gauges that are color adjustable check out GlowShift. their gauges are of very good quality and much cheaper than Autometer. Customer service is excellent also. Nothing against autometer. if you can cut cost down while getting a great product, then why not.

I run autometer electric full sweep gauges. Fuel pressure, wideband, oil pressure installed while I'm NA and water temp and boost/vac gauges sitting at home waiting till i install the F1. If anything starts to run out of specs I will know and be able to fix it before it causes damage. Gauges cost alot less then an engine.

no you do not need them as long as your car is properly dyno tuned. I do not have any and have no issues and its a total sleeper.
