So I was wondering which way to go with boost/egt gauges, I've had a look around on various sites at different ones but still have no idea what to go for. digital or mechanical? Dash mount or pod? dual gauges or multifunction? I need reliability and accuracy without having to go and rob a bank. I'd also be very interested to know which brands to avoid.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
I use auberins for egt and and also head metal temp for boost i just use a sas gauge but will be swapping that to a digital read out as i find digital much better

I also use auber instrument gauges. I find they are extremely accurate and easy to read. They also have max/min feature and an external output triggered by user set alarm levels for use with a relay etc. They are versatile and capable of been used with a variety of sensors so you can switch the use of them without having to buy another gauge. I have 3 mounted below my stereo red is EGT, green is boost, and blue is now hooked up to water temp. I also have another air intake temp sensor and when I get my intercooler setup I'll change water temp to air intake for a while. Tried uploading a pic but motor culture isn't letting me for some reason. I'll try again later....
I use Speco and when combined with the ECU-talk very accurate.
if you require a pillar pod give me a pm.
what if you want a double din head unit down the track

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I have an Autron gauge, and it's pretty good. Being able to set alarms on it at set points really helps when tuning up the NADS !
Only gripe I have with the Autron is how bloody bright they are at night driving.
EGT/Boost Gauges
