Default Gauge Selection

Hey guys need some input.
I was up late last night racking my brain on how to make this work and can't anyway to make it happen so I have to make a choice.

I need input on which gauges to put to the ride.
I have 4 gauges and can only fit 3 in a A pillar pod so one has to take a back seat.

Here are the selection:

Boost pressure
Oil Pressure
Fuel Pressure
EGT

I'm leaning towards leaving the fuel pressure gauge out for now unless someone can come with some creative ideas on how to make this work.
Does anyone make a custom pod for our sunglass compartment so i can fit 2 more gauges there. If someone does then I can also get a wideband O2 AFR gauge and just be done with everything.

Ditch the EGT. Replace it with an AFR gauge.

If you are going with a return fuel system, or changing something in the fuel system, keep the fuel pressue amd ditch the oil pressure (or find a good place to put the oil pressure gauge) If not, ditch the fuel pressure, and keep the oil pressure.

You do have an warning light in your dash if the oil pressure drops too low.

I agree. Out with the EGT. Fuel pressure would be my next choice to ditch. Just put a pressure gauge in the engine compartment if you want one.

+1..........or you could go with a Zeitronix ZT2 for boost, AFR and EGT in one display, then use your pillar for oil pressure and others. Good luck!

^ indeed, we already have oil pressure. However, if you want to replace the 3 pods with your own gauges, you have to replace the oil pressure because it's on the same circuit as the adjacent stock gauge. Plus, it looks better if you have all 3 gauges matching.

He's talking about putting these gauges in an A-Pillar pod, not replacing the ones in the dash.

ah, shoot me for skimming as well... I would do boost, AFR, and oil pressure if I had to do three.

Sorry guys I should have given more info.

This is a 05 G35 Coupe with the Rev-Up motor, we don't have oil pressure gauges like the Z's.

I will be installing the APS TT kit w/ 500cc injectors, bigger fuel pump and fuel return system.
