    What gauges to use w/ supercharger?

    So I bit the bullet and have the Rotrex supercharger on order from AA. Besides having a boost gauge, what other gauges should I be putting in the car? I am mounting the Boost gauge in the pocket in front of the ashtray. Looks like there will enough room to run two, possibly three gauges there.

    Thanks guys!

      Oil pressure and oil temp? maybe even Air/Fuel ratio.

              Yea, I figured that much! But I wanted to put one or two more gauges. Air/fuel sounds like one. Oil temp was the other. I guess the oil temp for the rotrex would be more appropriate.

                  WIDEBAND A/F, Boost, Oil pressure, Oil temp are the important ones with FI.

                      Ok So I think I am going to go with Boost, A/F, and oil temp. Which Autometer gauges are your favorites?

                          Cobalt. I have a pillar with boost and AFR. Oil temp is my next one;).

                              Oh yeah, fuel pressure is another good thing to have your eye on (especially with high boost).

                                  Piller mount? Do you have any pics? I was thinking of mounting it there but it looked pretty skinny. I would prefer it being on the pillar as it is easy to see the boost as you are driving.

                                      I can get you a pic, but as my username dictates, it's on my Firebird. I bought a universal kit that had to be modified to fit...

                                          Yea, the pillars on the 'bird is much more wider than on an E30. I haven't seen any gauges on an E30 pillar that looked good.

                                              A good gauge to have would be Windshield washer fluid temp

                                                  Why would that be good? Are you trying to sell off yours?
