Oh ya, for the Z car and it's fuel injection sensors and all.....which is better, electrical guages or mechanical? I'm going to rewire while I do this, so I could go with new sending units and sensors while I install the Painless harness. Just not quite sure if one type of guage is reccomended above the other type on certain guages. And I know people say their boost guages are off by a few PSI, but I'm not going to be running anywhere near the max boost my engine will hold or the turbo will output...so if I think I'm running 15 and actually running like 17, that's no biggie.
Which Autometer series to go with?
I'm trying to figure out which series of guages that I should go with. I'm needing boost, oil pressure, water temp, pyrometer, and fuel pressure. I'm also going to go with their in-dash tach and speedo. I've looked through a few diff. ones on Jegs' site, and so far the Sport-comp looks to be pretty fairly priced. Which series uses better parts and more quality construction. I don't wanna go with the set that's crappily made and for the "budget minded" people, but I don't wanna go with full on race car parts that you need a race car budget to afford. I'm going 2 5/8ths on guages, and 5" on tach and speedo. Also, anyone know of a good site to get a good price on them? I'm going to check Ebay as well.

I am running autometer Phantom series gauges. great gauges and the white faces are a really great touch to the interior
Z series by autometer look great like stock
VDO gauges are more accurate
Pryometers do not go high enough on Autometers. Greddy make nice ones often on Ebay for $130 (full kit)
Westech make cool gauges for planes that are useful

Greddy makes guages too? The main reason I want Autometer is because they have so many options and a full line of guages. Plus they're in the correct size. I'll try to find some Greddy units and check them out. I'm pretty interested in the Pro-Comp line by Autometer, and that guy mentioned Phantoms, and they seem to have all the guages in that series I'd need and look pretty good too.
Hey those don't look too bad. Thanks Blue, I'll check em out.
