forced induction guys

[snakebit05]

what gauges did you end up using and why did you choose them iam thinking about getting the aeroforce interceptors for mine but they are $$$ so would like to see what you guys are using.

I've got the dual aeroforce gauges and an innovate LC-1 with their XD-16 gauge. I am using 1 of the analog inputs on one aeroforce gauge for my boost.

Stand alone, fuel pressure, water temp, oil pressure, wideband and vac/boost.

I like my autometer phantom II because the way they have the backlight setup. They match the default mycolor perfectly. In this pic I did have a variance in backlight but was under warranty. Just a fluke but nice gauges overall. I still need to get another pod cause I want my oil pressure and water temp gauges back... that and an iat for my supercharger but they do not make one for that in a phantomII

Innovate LC1 wideband and cobalt boost. Gonna switch the boost gauge I think.

I think your going to find that good gauges set up properly are gonna cost you some coin.

I really like my AEM, but they weren't cheap.

Really nice setup! You are right... they are expensive. To change down the road sucks

I went with dual aeroforce and autometer mech vac/boost gauge in a Boss gauge pod.

None. I barely keep up with my gas gauge ;0

Any reason why you're not running gauges? The reason I'm asking is that I don't really like the idea of putting a pillar pod on my car or one of the pods on top of the dash and I'm not sure how the heat and air are affected by the Roush pods. However, I'm worried about not being able to see if I'm running lean or not. I guess with a good tune, it really wouldn't matter, but I certainly don't want to hurt my car.

I've thought about that, but I've got the Mach 1000 head unit in the car and I'm not sure I want to replace it. I will certainly keep that in mind though. Thanks for the link.

I really like that gauge pod. Will it fit on the 2010+?

I have Autometer Nexus gauges. I have boost, oil pressure, fuel pressure, trans temp, water temp, wide band a/f and 2 egt.

They aren't cheap but they have features, low and hi limit warning lights, recording capability and several more, that I really like.

I have the SOS dual pillar pod, the pod matches so will to the stock interior it looks factory.

Gauges:
PLX A/F
Colbalt boost gauge

Yeah I think they do (or think they make one for it). It is the autometer tripple dash pod. I really like the appearance but has a couple issues I wish were corrected.

1.) I wish they had a better system for securing it to the dash. The alternative to a small piece of double side tape on an aluminum bracket would be to drill the dash. Not big on that idea but I suppose I will never sell the car,, if I did it would go with the car lol. I will eventually make my own bracket with larger surface area that I can get nuts with double sided tape

2.) I should have (and will) find some type of thin rubber trim for the sides. In the pic you see a small gap in the back. That was not there before as I did massage it to fit perfectly but over time it has distorted just a bit. Trim pieces would fix that pretty easy and still look presentable I think.



Other than that it was not much fun running the wires as I did not want to drill the dash or cut the gauge harnesses. So.. I removed a small piece of the defrost grill (cant notice even without the pod) and fished the plugs thru. Two trips to the chiropracter later lol.. I would do it again. I also painted the pod to match the stereo bezel (a little darker than the dash) to flow with the interior.

Unless you spend the rediculous money on the gt500 setup that is covered in leather to match the leather covered dash (we don't have) then I have had some small issues with ALL the pods I have used in the past. Just comes with the cheap price tag. My tripple dash pod was like under $70 at summit.

do you have the a pillar set up or the center. not to sure how much it will effect the visablity on the a pillar. but its the best looking one i just want to be able to see without any problems when i go to turn.

and as far as gauges iam goint to stick with the aeroforces looked at all the other ones but i really like those the best so might as well get the ones i think since ive seen they all cost some good coin.
