Default Q: Aftermarket gauges oil, fuel, boost?

Hey guys,gonna be purchasing a sos dual gauge pillar and was wondering what autometer gauges i should purchase, Is the factory boost gauge accurate? Can't decide if i should get boost,oil pressure or fuel press.

The Saleen gauges aren't very reliable. I've got a wideband A/F & Aeroforce Intercepter gauge in the SOS pillar pod. I replaced the boost & intercooler water temp gauge in the Saleen pod with autometer gauges.

Another option is to use the existing Saleen gauge pod and just get 52mm gauges to replace them. You can get dual purpose gauges that will allow you to see all the parameters you want with only two gauges. Aeroforce is one option, I really like the PLX gauges. I can pick whatever parameter I want from the PCM and add sensors for boost and A/F.

I like the digital gauges, that looks really sharp.

Tbar, are those just plug and play or was other wiring needed for the intercooler H2O temp gauge?

For the boost gauge I only used the existing power & ground wires. Mines an 05 so it came with Saleen intercooler water temp gauge. Now if I remember right, I used the existing wiring except for the sensor wire because I relocated the sensor. To be honest it's not a very useful gauge. The only time it moves is from heatsoak but I wanted a matching gauge to the Autometer boost gauge in the pod.
