Which gauges / style to buy ? - BOOSST - 11-05-2019

I want to put 3 X 52mm gauges in my MR2, but not sure which ones or which style would look right ?

Two gauges will to be Oil Temp and Oil Pressure But what is good for the third ?

I did consider having a Air Fuel Mix but my V6 is narrownabd and I have heard people say that narrow band are pants and wideband is far more accurate ?

I don't need a boost gauge because i have no supercharger and won't till next year anyway and then i can place one in the dials anyway.. better to the eye too.

Bear in mind, my dash lights are blue led and the gauges will be mounted in the A pillar.

Been looking on this site since they have an excellent selection..

i'd stick with brands like Defi etc.

Though the AEM ones are nice:

I have just installed plx dm100x 3 with a obd2reader in one of them. Have all 6 sm units to display all of them. The best part is you can custom design the gauges to look as you want and with the obd unit i can see everthing going on in the ecu. See my post on them

BOOSST Just how many gauges does one man need :ohmy:

Stav needs 6. Though I suspect he really needs more, he just probably ran out of places to put them.

lol well the 3 spa are dual gauges so they're technically 6 gauges on their own.

plus theres 4 built into the dash, and my mechanical boost gauge, plus the HUD's lol
