Installed a dual Aeroforce gauge setup that's been sitting here for weeks. I can barely stand how much I like them :)

I got the Oil Pressure sending unit with them but I haven't hooked it up yet, and I have analog Boost and Wideband A/F gauges on the pillar.
Any suggestions ? Right now they're set for Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp, Coolant Temp and Battery.

I went with black backface and an a pillar dual pod mount.

You can set them to flash red at certain readings such as high coolant temp.

No sound that I know of. I said flashing but I think is is steady red.

Well it depends on you want it for a good looking or for performance ? What I mean is if you put it in the a pillar pod it kinda look bad but it's the best place to see the reading.
But near the shifter it's kinda hard to dial the reading !!!

I like the way the pillar pods look, and would have put these there, but I already have a two gauge pod on the pillar with boost and wideband a/f.

That's part of why I got the Aeroforce gauges - I liked the working boost and wideband gauges so much, they made the oem fake gauges seem stupid to me :o ;)

Have you considered putting the boost by the shifter and an AeroForce on the A pillar?

Fuel Pressure and Coolant Temp are the ones I monitor the most.

Yes, I have.
The Wideband is the one I watch on the pillar. The boost gauge isn't critical IMO - it doesn't tell you that much, and I have a pretty good idea of what the boost is doing without the gauge anyway.

For now, I have one of the console gauges on Fuel Pressure (top) + Coolant Temp, and one on Trans Temp (top) + Batt. (When I get the Oil Pressure sending unit hooked up, that will replace or cycle with Batt.)

I haven't been monitoring the more specialized stuff like Spark Advance, Duty Cycle etc. because I don't know enough about them.
