 Just  received my Guage POD from the infamous member crash712us  .

I am considering  Auto Meter C2 Analog Gauges .. white face with black numbers and blue led backlighting .
Questions ...   Pyrometer 0-1600  or 0-2000  ...  Boost 0-60 ....  Oil Pressure 0-100 . All should be electrical  ?

I want to do this before my first major ENGINE/TUNE Mod which will be a Stainless Works Thermal Coated Catted Down Pipe Set at $1240.00 . I already have the  Corsa catback stainless exhaust setup . After this I will do the Livernois tune .. not sure how far though ?!?!

 I received my gauge pod a few days ago and I must say it looks great. it'll be a little while before I can buy the gauges but I was going to go with the Ford Racing gauges: Vac/Boost, Oil Pressure, & Water Temp.

I guess what I meant is that I should be using electrical not mechanical  , and what TEMP RANGE FOR THE PYROMETER ?

0-2000 with turbo's they fan that flame even hotter. Here is a pic of gauges I have customized on Autometer site unfortunately they don't offer a 2000 degree pyrometer in there custom shop. But as BDP is the only one I know of having a pyrometer I'd wait for him to chime in on.
