Default Gauges for TT

Well, I got my TT kit installed, and now it is time for gauges. I have a 3-gauge A-Pillar (52mm) pod that I will be using, and I want a wideband AFR, a boost, and an oil temp. However, it seems like all the gauges I like don't come with an AFR gauge. The two I am looking at are the Autometer Nexus line, and the Defi gauges, neither of which I can find have an AFR.

So, considering the above, and my preference for black face with red or white numbering, in English units (PSI, Farenheit, etc...), 52 mm if possible, what are some suggestions?

I love these gauges:

Great thing about these gauges are you can change from English to metric units, there is a programable LED alarm light, records your max levels, you can change the back light from green to red, and they fit two gauges in one.

Yet, they don't make an AFR gauge.

Nice, very nice, but do they have a US distributor?

Well, that was rather easy, thanks, JET. Pricey gauges, though. $336 for the dual oil temp/pres. Still, though, I like the idea, I might go for that.

Do an Innovate A/F or AEM guage. I run the Innovate in between my Defi D-series guages, looks good, not out of place.

Innovate wideband AFR,Defi Boost Gauge, and you might want to consider a Defi EGT gauge.Those are the gauges I have in my triple pod all 52mm.Got them from Forged Performance at a good price...

Yea - I installed the dual oil pressure/Temperature SPA gauge where the stock oil pressure gauge was. It is nice to have the LED alarm lights as it is hard to take your eye off the track to see where your temp and pres are!

Nice. Like I said, I like the Nexus (partly due to the reasons you mentioned) but what do you use for air/fuel?

OK, I have the nexus gauges they are great!! They have an optional colour of organge and it matches 100% with stock, I also have the innovate A/F its colour output is more orange as well, rather than red like the AEM A/F.
Nexus, Innovate look great togther.
