I was going to get the boost and oil pressure gauges for sure but I wasn't to sure on the third. I am looking to buy a PLX-M300(if you are selling let me know). For the temp gauge would the stock one in the dash work? I was told about a fuel pressure gauge...???

^your setup looks nice 8)

im just running an autometer boost gauge and JAW wideband reader, both up in the center vent.

if i were to spend more money on my car, i would also have fuel pressure gauge, oil pressure gauge, and a knock lite. but hey, this was supposed to be a budget car... :roll:
