Default Gauges. Advice on fittment and makes....

Hi all,

With my 3 door running stage 3 im thinking its time to keep a closer eye on things. I intend to get a 3 gauge holder to replace the centre vents on the dash. Im feeling the 3 most important are boost, oil pressure and AFR.

How difficult/easy are these to fit? Any advice?

Also if anyone has any links or opinions on which gauges are best I'd really appreciate it. Car currently has non and I'd just like to know what is going on.

Thanks.

Yes im looking at the air vent one on burton. Can get it single, double or triple.

I like the look of racetech gauges on there too. Im thinking of getting one of their dual oil press/oil temp gauges. Has both of them in one 52mm display. Then boost and 3rd not 100% sure.

Bump for this guys.

Someone direct me to a decent boost gauge (40psi), oil pressure and afr gauge (although I think afr is already sorted)

Dont want Stupidly expensive ones.

I use the dual spa gauges in my 3dr ,they are very accurate and use really good sensors . Not cheap but work perfect and gives a warning light !

stack for me, i've only two, but will be replacing the other non stack five when i can afford to.
good quality and accurate, far better than the other cheap ones i have fitted, although they do show problems up.
