A Pillar gauges

Hey guys, My wide band O2 sensor is on its way out, and if i buy another i might as well buy a gauge set seeing i want a fuel pressure gauge anyway. Im on the fence between a 2 gauge pillar and 3 gauge pillar. Looking for pictures/input. Thanks.

Re: A Pillar gauges

I am currently running a three gauge pillar, but would suggest your selection of wide band gauge should determine how many holes you go with.

With a change in my build I am currently replacing my nitrous with boost, however with the new AEM wide band it has a pressure boost input as well, so could have gone down to two. Already had the three gauge pillar, so will use the AEM Boost input for logging purposes.

Thats awesome. Pretty much what im looking for! I dont want a ton of gauges hanging in my face! Can you select it on the fly to switch the display from boost to a numerical AFR value?

Re: A Pillar gauges

Got any pictures chris? How close is it to the dashboard? I heard it touches at the lower cluster?

Re: A Pillar gauges

Couple more for you of the three cluster. It fully engulfs the stock pillar cover, so looks factory. Although it is tight, dash pad can be removed with cluster in place.

It looks intimidating in the picture from the drivers seat, but really goes unnoticed once driving. I find you have to look for the gauge when spirited driving has your focus.
