Just out of curiosity, what gauges are you running? Im pricing/feeling my way around right now, and Im looking at everything I would need, down to gauges. Here are my questions.

Im looking at the Autometer gauges, what are you guys running, electrical or mechanical? What are the pros/cons?

I know I would want Boost, and A/F, but what else are you guys running? Are Oil pressure and fuel pressure necessary?

Post up pics of setups. Depending on what I got gauge wise, I would probably do the autometer 3 gauge or 2 gauge a pillar pod with my raptor mounted to it.

Sorry if this has been discussed before.

Don't run the shitty Autometer gauge pod when you can get a Speed of Sound pillar instead.

These are NEXUS gauges. Love them! They are not cheap, but they work flawlessly!

Aeroforce Interceptor dual. I have analog inputs for boost and wideband. Two displays per gauge and a choice of displaying everything available in obd2 plus any analog inputs you want.

That is nice! I dont know if that would be overkill for me though

SOS(Speed Of Sound) is the only way to go when it comes to gauge pods, weather it be a pillar pod or center dash pod. Their craftsmanship is bar none. The best out there. There customer service is also top notch. I run their triple pillar pod with Autometer C2 Boost, Air/Fuel, and Fuel Pressure along with one Roush vent pod with Oil Pressure. I have no complaints whatsoever with the setup.

SOS triple pillar with AM cobalt boost, fuel pressure, A/F, along with two vent pods one with AM cobalt water temp and the other with an Aeroforce gauge with oil temp and oil pressure sensors. I need to take a pic of the inside of my car one of these days...

I must be the only one who is not that pleased with the SOS pillar pod. I get rattles/squeaks over most road imperfections. I had to do a lot of adjusting and play with dynomat to get it quiet. I also think the price is high for what it is, a stock A-pillar with 3 cups riveted on. I'd go with the dash mounted pod if I could do it again.

For boost gauge, I'd go electric if I could do it again. A little more, but not dealing with kinks is worth it.

If the bottom hook of the pillar is not placed correctly into the dash it will squeak and rattle. I've had the issue as well when I did not install it right. Not saying that was the problem with yours, just my experience.

I have a SOS dual pillar pod. I will never buy anything from them again. Nothing wrong with the quality, but I thought I was getting a molded unit. Instead, I removed a brand new stock piece and replaced it with a brand new stock piece that had 2 dinky pods riveted to it. I would have much rather paid 15 buck for the pods and did it myself.

Why don't you sell your SOS pillar and show us your design. Good luck making the pods for $15.

You just shit on one if the most respected vendors we have on here.

I'd offer to buy it back from you if I thought you were trust worthy. But I don't.

I'm sorry you feel that way. However, it is what it is....

I'd take a dump on your chest if I ever met up in person. Translation for someone of your intelligence level: Fuck you.
I would never insult Alan's work. Maybe if you got off your fatass and did something with your life you'd know how much work ACTUALLY goes into his pieces.

I'm running boost and wideband. I wish I would have spent my money on something else since a person don't look at them when you need them the most. Try watching your tack or shift light, gauges, and shift while watching the road.
