Looking to see what is out there for a boost gauge/oil temp gauge. Not looking to spend a lot, but LMK what you have and we can go from there! Thanks!
Look into the ProSport "Premiere" gauges. Call Modern Automotive Performance. I think i paid just over $500 for 5 gauges. Affordable, good quality, and come in a variety of colors to match your interior lights. Also have "peak recall" feature and flash red when you exceed the settings that you put on them.
How difficult are these to add on later on? Maybe in a month or two? The funds will not support that right now because of the build, but this sounds pretty interesting... Would it be better to try and get something together now?
They can be added any time! It is a good idea, IMO, to have an oil pressure gauge and boost gauge to monitor what is going on. But any of them can be added later. And remember, for 1 or 2 gauges you'll be looking at like $200-ish.
I'm thinking that may be an autumn addition then... Then I can get the gauge pod/mounts that I like. I would be interested in seeing what others like/don't like. Josh, what's your set up like?
Make sure to check with Josh @ Import Image Racing on those gauge prices that you fine @ MAP. I really like Ryan's gauges. Very clean and easy to read (white ones). Not sure what brand they are. The Bullet's gauges are nice too. I think those are ProSports. My ProSport (basic) manual boost gauge was cheap but worked fine... until the needle started sticking. I believe it lasted a year. I have the EVO series now. I really like it. Only downfall is the occasional glare on sunny days combined with polarized sun glasses. However depending on your placement and sung glasses, that might not be an issue. There are better options, but they cost a lot more.
5 ProSport Premieres. EGT, Oil Press., Boost, Oil Temp., and Water Temp. Two in the Autometer gauge cluster surround like this one >> http://www.subiegal.com/gallerymain/wrxwagonrally/autometerpod/autometer_replica_pod.htm and three in the clock pod on the dash. You can check them out anytime if you'd like. Just hit me up when you are in New Breezy.
I for sure will! He has been really good to me with the parts I have needed these last few weeks. I'll have to check these different set ups out. As of now, I am thinking just boost and oil temp, so I may just do that steering column mounting...I am not looking to spend a whole lot, but as recommended by many, this seems like a worthwhile investment. Thanks guys!
