whats a better size gauge pod to get 2" 1/16 or 2" 5/8 ???? also what is the difference between mechanical and electric gauges? what are electric guages so much more money? are greddy gauges the only gauges with white needles?

I have no idea about the gauges yet, but im not getting greddy anymore. I found a couple kits i may get,Custom Manifold, Custom Downpipe, Garret T3 Turbo, Tial BOV, Turbonetics Wastegate, Custom Air to water intercooler, Custom Front Mount Heat exchanger, all necessary water lines. for like 1900 or my friend has some hook ups and can get me a brand new never used custom kit, i didnt really get all the details but its t3/t4 turbo manifold intercooler everything i will need includeing FMU, only thing it doenst come with is injectors which i probably wont need, for like 1800. So i most likely will get the second one for 1800 and i will probably get it this comeing saturday ill let you know how things go.=)

The difference between mechanical and electrical gauges is where they get their data. Say you were going to get an oil temp gauge, if you bought a mechanical gauge then you would have to route oil lines through the firewall to the gauge then back. For some things thats ok but I don't want wicked hot oil above my legs. Electrical gauges have sending units near whatever they are measuring. Those units take the data and send the info into the gauge. Thats also why electrical guages are more expensive. Hope that helps

Im getting a kit put together by apex, max power T3/ T4turbo, obx manifold and downpipe, tial waste gate, custom intercooler f**ken huge, all custom fit pipeing, XS-RFL bov, FMU, In-tank high pressure fuel pump, and all the oil lines and such for like 1800 cause my friend is cool with a couple guys who work there. I think thats f**k awesome deal kinda iffy on the manifold but i will replace that probably a couple months after i get it.

i don't think you need either really unless you're highly modded but air/fuel would probably be better for noticing probs if something ever happens

the a/f guage shows when your foot is on the gas.... the egt gauge tells you more accurate readings. all you gotta remeber is if its higher temp, that means you are running lean (pretty sure, dont quote me)
