which gauges to pick?
Hey guys, Im getting ready to order some glowshift gauges(dont have a ton of money to spend) and I was wondering what gauges I should pick. I have an edge display monitor that has an egt probe already and it monitors my boost along with my rpm. I was wondering if anyone had any other gauge suggestions? I was thinking about a fuel pressure gauge for sure and a trans temp but that leaves one or two spots open depending if I choose the triple pod or the quad pod. Thanks Cody.

Ya, your right Al, no HPOP gauge. i just got me a new water temp today from them, for my WVO system, other than that, i got 10 of them. I'd get the fuel pressure along withthe fuel port adaptor you'll need, for it to work, oil pressure and volts. If theres room, the oil temp gauge too.
Do yourself the favor and get these gauges, the other ones, the color might get annoying over time...

I was looking at the tinted series but I didnt see a difference other than they are just tinted. I guess this helps with the color at night? Should i go with the quad pod or tri pod. I guess the more gauges the merrier!

Some people have had issues with visibility during the day with the non-tinted, I have the tinted series and can see day or night just fine, of course it helps that I have 5% tinted windows all around too.

Mine is 4 hole, no issues, although I don't use it either, might rub a little but the end of the visor is flexible enough to not notice.

No they are not cheap, just not as expensive as others and not made in the US.
I'll admit if money were no object,... but it is for me. I think they are well made and look good.
I looked a lot at other posts/threads, nobody that had them disliked them, over 2-3 years. I did a quad, egt, trans temp, boost, fuel psi. Very happy.
