My car will be turboed in about 2 weeks and I was looking at gauges and gauge pods for my car and I have a few questions.

What are the best gauges to buy and where from?
And also, are there gauge pods like the one below for a 92-95 Civic?

i wish they made dash pods for 92-95. check out glowshift on ebay. they make a good package for your car. like 3 gauges and a pod for like 120 bucks. i've ordered lots from them and never got any complaints. i like how they look.

this guy can make you a pod cluster out of your bezel, you'll lose your 2 center vents, but he can do it i'm sure..

New question for you all...

On a turbo car, what are the top 3 gauges to have to monitor your car?

Oil, Boost, and what else?

I hear mixed opinions on this and want to hear what you all say.

Oil temp, Boost, and WIDEBAND air/fuel.... don't go cheap on the wideband or you're wasting money...

and go Defi D-Link guages... they're nice, but you pay the price for the high quality...

I think EGT, Boost and Oil Pressure are my Top 3. EGT can tell you if you are leaning out or too rich as well as other factors. Oil Pressure is good since the stock oil light goes off when it is already too late. Boost is given.

But you need oil temp as well to make sure you're not running that oil too hot! :)
