I'm looking at getting some gauges soon and I was looking into some insight into what gauges would be most beneficial to get. I am currently NA but may go FI later (much later ). I will more than likely get Autometer gauges.

So what gauges would you get and in what order? This is for a GT with the IUP, so I have the message center and basic batter, oil, coolant meters, even if they aren't accurate, hehe.

I went with Marshall gauges..Not sure if you need em before you go F/I, but, ive got boost, oil pressure, and coolant temp... I would probably wait if i were you until you go F/I, imo...I guess you could always change out the gauge later if you wanted...

I have autometer ultralite gauges. I got the 3 gauge A-pilar pod, I have oil, water temp and air, fuel ratio. The air, fuel ratio gauge is very cool to watch even if it's not real accurate. If I ever I go FI, then of course I will need a boost gauge.

I was thinking of going with a fuel pressure, boost/vac, and a wideband air/fuel on the a pillar.

I bought BOOST, FUEL PRESSURE and OIL PRESSURE guages because if the pressure goes "bye-bye", your engine will be toast!!!

I should also get a tranny temp gauge but have not yet...
