    I was considering getting a HUD gauge pod, but I am stuck on which gauges to get. I would like to get an electrical oil pressure and trans temp. I figured if I were to ever get an A pillar gauge pod I could add some more later. I kinda think those are kinda ricey though. Are the boost gauges very accurate? Thanks for any suggestions or advice.

    I would say go with a boost and oil pressure gauge. My boost gauge seems to match very close to what my MAP sensor reading is. It's a Faze.

    I have my boost gauge close to my eye in my A-pillar gauge pod.

    I would have something you wont look at as closely next to the HUD....

    I have boost and trans temp in my pillar, and have nitrous bottle pressure and fuel pressure in the dash....

    Oil and a Aeroforce gauge. Preferably just two Aeroforce gauges instead.

    I'd either do a Boost/Vac Gauge and an Oil Pressure gauge.... or a Wideband Gauge and an Oil Pressure gauge.

    Boost/Vac has its uses and importance but when compared to a Wideband and Oil Pressure without fuel and oil you have no motor period. Thats my take on it.

    In my GTP I have a Triple Pillar with Oil Pressure, Volts, Boost/Vac...... I have a LC1 Digital Wideband gauge and L67 Scanmaster in my cluster. Not to mention an ICCU in the center console cubby.

    My black GTP has just an L67 Scanmaster in the cluster...

    Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully when tax time comes I will get some good ****. I figure as much taxes as I have paid on all the overtime I have worked, I will be getting a good bit back. The wideband would be nice. I dont guess an A pillar gauge pod would be to bad. If I was going to do the HUD pod and A pillar pod, I would like to do them at the same time as running the wires for the gauges would be easier to do all at once IMO. With 5 options instead of just 2 the choices would not be that hard. Fuel pressure, Trans temp, Boost, Oil pressure, and Wideband O2 would be a good combo. I will have to check into the Wideband. This could turn into a very expensive endeavor....
