AEM or Innovate wideband, and gauges of your choice.

What turbo / sc kit are you running?

aem is the simplest wideband out there, also the most used. and from what i've seen in comparison to other widebands, the most reliable.

I went with ProSport gauges. Good product for the price. Some people don't like them, but I've used them quite a bit and continue to recommend them to people looking for nice gauges without spending too much on DEFI or similar.

The center console ones are their EVO series, illuminates blue or red with adjustable brightness. Top gauges are their Performance line with a Premium wideband. Plan on swapping out the performance ones with premium series for their peak option.

The wideband has 0-5v output, can be used for data logging. Accuracy has been verified with a tailpipe sniffer. Install is easy, comes with all necessary hardware and wiring is plenty for any install. 10:1-20:1 range.

Can't go wrong with AEM or Innovate, either. Innovate was my #1 choice. Google some reviews and comparisons.

not posting pics, you can look them up tho..

I use Marshall CSX black face gauges, use a Stillen Carbon fiber a pillars for a manual boost and voltage ( big stereo) just for giggles, an ATI steering wheel column mount for oil temp and wideband AFR, and the last of the Crawford cubby mounts for an AEM tru-boost and a switch panel gauge blank.

and for what its worth, if your car lives in sun at all, prosport die in the heat easily. Ive had them go bad internally a few times. Marshall is quality stuff, not much more, but still less than defi.

We've had this discussion before.
I live on Okinawa, land of heat and humidity, and mine are still kicking strong. They're also sitting in direct sunlight and I never leave the windows cracked. I'm sure heat has killed many other gauges.
