For those of you with a mantis or gauge pods...
besides turbo boost, what two 52mm gauges do you recommend, type and make (best look/mechanics), and best place to buy.
I searched the forum, but couldn't really get a good overall consensus.
Thanks!

Two i would recommend is oil pressure and temp>>>
while pressure is not a huge priority, temp is. But i like the balance of those...
Relocating my gauges shortly and adding a few...
(adding) Fuel Pressure Gauge
(adding) Oil Pressure Gauge
Relocating Boost gauge to new custom gauge pack...and adding a Fuel pressure gauge too.
That will finalize the gauge thing....
On looks...i love the look of the Defi D Series gauges, but they are discontinued...There Link series gauges are gorgeous, but not cheap....
Check link below for one place to get them...<ul><li><a href="http://www.egauges.com">http://www.egauges.com</a</li></ul>

I have used the Mantis gauge with Auto Meter Gauges

A/F does not help on the TT>>>
unless you have the old 4 wire o2 sensor IMO. Event then, it shows a smoothed number and unless you have an adjustable FPR, there is no way to tune to the number shown.....
On the Pyro, sure you can go there, but again, unless you get to a really high state of tune...it is an expensive gauge and install....
Simpler gauges are a little more important...IMHO
