Get Dual Aeroforce scan gauges or need one scan? Will going to be on Overhead Console.

Those look shitty as hell honestly.

Here's what I run
Wideband-PLX
Fuel Pressure-Autometer
Aerforce Scan gauge for normal functions

I haven't decided what I'm going to run for a boost gauge yet.

I'd stay away from that stuff.

One of the problem with the digital gauges is they work only as long as the light wiring last. Some last forever and are fine, some carry a 60 ft or 60 sec warranty (what ever comes first). An analog gauge will not burn out and they are a long term solution if the auxiliary lighting for nite driving burns out you only have to replace a bulb and it works fine. With the digital when they burn out they are toast. HTH

Thank for yall help. One thing do I need dual or one scan gauge? CHeck http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3271860.

I cant find forum to tell how to install temp gauge electric wire to tranny?

U think glowshift is same as http://prosportgauges.com/search.asp...fuel+pressure? I like the looks. But I think most ppl not like it. I still want to know about wideband which I go PLX or AEM. I see PLX come with box just plug and play

Go with auto meter gauges. If you get an A/F make sure its a wideband.

Here's what mine look like, I really like them at night. Top gauge is a fuel pressurer, middle is boost/vac, bottom is a DPIC just for kicks.

I have the cobalt's also. They aren't too expensive, the wideband is what brings the cost up. IMO, if you're going to do it, get the reputable stuff so you don't have to mess with it. Here's a shot of my Cobalt's.
