Boost and A/F Gauges
 
I need some advice on gauges.

Both need to be inconspicous. I don't want 12" gauges flying off my dashboard for every ricer to see.... I want something small and easy to mount "out of sight", yet still easy for me to read.

Also, boost gauges are easy.... but what do you hook up A/F gauges to?

if you get an aftermarket deck, the new plate has a comparment under the deck, you could custom put gauges there, its out of sight.

im gonna be putting a start swtich in mine

That's an idea... but finding a gauge small enough is the trick.

I don't want to spend a whole lot, either. I ordered a $25 boost gauge off Ebay for now. Maybe I can hide it good. :)

Does anyone know what hooking up an A/F gauge entails??

The best investment i made for my supercharged car was the Wide band A/F meter from AEM. Its a bit pricey (325) but its well worth the money the peace of mind it gives you every time u punch it and the reading stays below 12.0. Innovative has the XC-1 , Dynojet has the Wideband commander etc. They are all between 325-425 and some have more features than others. All this wide bands use a Bosh 5 cable wb o2 sensor that must be welded to the exhaust. Stay away from other AF meters that dont use this system they are pretty much for show only. On my car i have a Autometer boost gauge, electrical fuel pressure, pyrometer and the AEM A/F meter which is on top of the steering colum.

325 = YOW!

How about this one? The price ($279) is a little easier to handle... plus, I may be able to get a military discount. :)
