I know there was a thread long ago about gauges and how they're set up. However I thought we could start a new one with pictures and what types of gauges you guys use.

I think the best gauges that match Porsche's cluster have to be the Nexus gauges from Autometer or perhaps Defi's.

 

any pictures of boost gauges??

how about any A Pillar gauges on a Porsche??

I have the nav system, only options for me and gauges is A pillar??

 

not true. you can use what i'm using. i've had this in my car for a year. i'm measuring boost, egt, lamda, and afr live. i can datalog those and tps, rpm, and some other stuff.

i know i keep preaching this, but it's the best gauge package out there and it datalogs. not to mention it uses a ton less space than the defi or autometer equivalents.... datalogging is the key. you won't have time to watch what's going on when you're hammering it or the car starts having problems. peak holds aren't really worth **** either as if the value blips up for a microsecond, that's your peak and that is not really giving you the true story.

for the most part, i'd say you don't even need gauges. just a datalogger. you'll only end up looking at it when it's on the dyno, getting new performance parts, or something isn't running right. i have the display too in my car, but i usally hook the laptop up in the passenger seat when i'm trying to check or diagnose something. it's been great and it's made it fairly easy to trouble shoot with EVO.

here's a link to the part i'm using:

thanks DD, I think I am going to try the zeitronix. Who would I have put it in correctly??? you can pm me if ya like. Hope to see you guys around soon...tom

 

bert smith did mine. i don't think they're doing much work like this these days. I would talk to Chris Chaps over at C2 Designs or Suncoast. Chris is expensive, but he's really good and he's local.

 

autometer cobalt and Defi BLM Amber are my fav.
