Turbo Timer/Boost Gauge/EGT Gauge

[Rayza]

Hi all,

Hope this is the right place to post this...

Any way, im looking at a couple of gauges so i can better monitor what is going on under the hood when im out and about and i just wanted to get some opinions and ask what everyone else has (or even if i should bother)

Im looking at in particular...

- Oil pressure
- EGT gauge
- boost gauge

later on ill most likely put in a duel battery system so an amp meter in the tray will prob follow.

ive been hunting around on the net and found that GReddy have just come out with a pretty flash digital gauge that has all of the above and some (and conveniently comes in a single housing/multi gauge setup)

heres a link to the page if anyone is interested in something similar

Just not too sure whether its worth the $450+ price...

Let me know your thoughts

Here's mine. Autron gauges, pillar pod. They are EGT/boost/temp in one gauge, oil pressure/water temp/fridge temp in the other gauge.




dual battery management with both battery voltages and amp readout.



No turbo timer yet

Hope that helps.

@ threedogs. What is a pyrometer??

@ Rip'n'shread. are the pillar gauges hard to install? Yours look pretty good do they come with the housing or did you buy that separate?

@ Rip'n'shread. are the pillar gauges hard to install? Really easy mate wont take long at all

Yours look pretty good do they come with the housing or did you buy that separate? I got my pillar pod off ebay and the colour match your interior and was roughly $140 from memory

Dont know who to answer , Pyrometer basically an ETG, Pillar pod is an easy install IMO ,just remove the OMG handle slide your wires,tubes etc through. Another spot maybe next to centre console. Not that much room really, unless you could fab a 4 guage pod to sit on top of the dash. Good idea that Might try some fibreglassing. lol
