I'm just looking for suggestions on what gauges to pick up, I want something that will go with the interior of the tib pretty well. I like the autometer c2 gauges but it would be better if they glowed green rather than blue.

also what guages are necessary for a turbo setup? I know a boost gauge and that a egt is a very good idea. laugh.gif

Oil pressure and Temperature would be of great use also.

I'm thinking I probably need to get a boost, egt, and a/f guages. anyone still trying to sell that triple pillar pod?

Has anyone seen any green glowing gauge (like the c2's)? or something that flows pretty well with the tibs interior?

That's a good mix, just get anything that monitor's the important stuff.

As for the C2 gauges, you could prolly buy them and take them apart to use a green cover. That's a lot of work but it would be worth it. I'm sure it can be done.

hum... maybe I'll go with the autometer lunar gauges. they seem to glow about the same color at my pioneer stereo. laugh.gif

whats the advantage to having boost/vacuum? rather than just a boost gauge?

Default Re: turbo timer

boost, EGT, water temp, oil pressure, not necessary but helpful is a wideband O2 but if you have high EGT's you can assume you are running lean
but the first 4 is what im going to have in my tib, im not going to bother with the A/F

there is no need for an A/F when you can just look at your SAFC II

well, there sorta is if you dont have an EGT. Your S-AFC II doesn't give you as good of a reading as a wideband. Just wondering why you said an S-AFC II would be just as good.

I thought that it would. I guess that I still have a lot to learn. I am not questioning you because I am a SUPER newbie at this stuff compared to you. But, if you tune your A/F ratio with the S-AFC, then wouldn't it be vital that it gets the appropriate readings?
