Default Just purchased a Vortech and looking for gauges

I'm leaning toward auto meter nexus gauges. I would rather go Defi, but I want matching AFR, Boost and Oil Temp gauges.

While looking around I found these http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...0002_763920_-1

auto meter OBD II Gauges. I was thinking that it would be nice to just plug the module into the OBD port to get all of the readings. Is it even possible to get fast accurate real time AFR, Boost and OIL Temp from the port?

You can't get boost from those gauges. Just get a wideband and boost gauge. For my Vortech I got a single PLX gauge that can display multiple sensors at once.

Thanks for the info.

I like the PLX gauges too although I am worried about the clarity/resolution of the multi gauge, since it's simulated. How does it compare to a regular gauge.

read up on the DM-100. It is organic LED and will have great resolution. There is a control box that you can daisy chain other sensors. I was able to purchase the DM-100 gauge, wideband and boost sensors all for ~$500.
