if you just want it to work, it's a 1/10, if you want it to work and light up when your headlights come on, then it's a 2/10, and if you want it to look really nice, OEM nice, maybe a 4/10

The guages are easy to install I went with a oil pressure , and water temp on the A pillar , voltage and clock on the dash , and I'll be doing the tach on the steering coulom in the spring , they were a bit time consuming all the bits and pieces to plumb everything so that it looked and worked right but well worth it . I bought the pillar mount from Steeda . ca but frankly it did not fit or look right . I took it out and the multi guages (ebay) out after less than a month and went with Autometer for all the guages and the complete A pillar . Not only do the work good they look right and the autometer guages are old school hot rod . A great project and I like knowing what the readings are . By the way the oil pressure guage on the dash is really just a oil pressure activated switch and it really does not show a reading. Des

I run fuel-pressure and boost on the pillar

hind sight being 20/20, I woulda got the pods that are part of the cluster surround piece...but my interior pices were already custom painted

had an autometer pillar pod and it fit like IMO....happier now with a speedofsound pillar pod....it's a killer piece...but I had to do the mod over again$$

I thinking of guages also but what is the benefit of having a boost guage or a airfuel guage???? Air fuel might be alittle helpful but the with the boost What does the info tell you to do different. This is 2 I.ve been thinking of. I'm basically do it for bling myself

extra gauges is pretty much just "bling" IMO

boost gauge just moves when you're into boost....but you'll know that without looking at the gauge...lol

I find the Fuel and Oil Pressure gauges do offer some good feedback, but at the end of the day....when you're ripping along, you should be keeping your eyes on the road/mirrors and not on all the gauges

BTW.....your car is done real nice....when/if you buy a pillar pod, check these guys out
