Question Gauges

Are most analog gauges 2" diameter? I see some pods reference 2" and some 2 1/16". I want to order a quad over the mirror pod and need some advice. What does everyone think I should add to the EGT and Boost gauges I already have locsted on the post? Oh, and who has the best deal. THANKS

Think about a monitor like the Bully Dog; can mount right by the piller on the dash and do 4 things at once. I use mine for EGT before and after turbo, boost, and volts. Easy to read and every thing comes off the ob plug in except the EGT's......... Good Luck

Only down side IMHO is all other reading but EGT's use factory sensors for monitoring.

I just went for the bd outlook to gauges and I see a big differnce in temp change and boost the bd was telling me im running 10psi boost at 65mph with the gauges im running 8psi. Not to say it bad but it does use factory reading from the ecu More direct with gauges.
