Need some help icking out gauges EVO VIII
I am about ready to make my first mod and I would like to get some gauges. I need some help.
1. which brands out there will fit the evo viii
2. I think I want a double or triple pod on the pilar
3. Which gauges are the most important ( I know I need a boost presure, but thats about it)
4. Maybe some prices and where to get the hook up.
Please don't flame me because I don't know, I have owned mostly american V8's so I never really added any gauges. Any opinions would help, I would really like to get some good ones, no crappy ones please. I think I need to know what is going on with the car, so that is why I want the gauges first.

Does anyone know what greddy gauges will fit the evo. If I called them to order, could I just ask them which ones and what sizes, or would they know.
Does anyone know what size and which gauges I should order first. I am getting a turbo pressure gauge for sure. Also does greddy have a pilar gauge pod that would work

greddy gauges are very nice - they come in various sizes, but the 60mm are great (big as hell and very readable) they run from ~80 for the mechanical boost gauge to 180+ for the peak/hold/warning gauges that can reply 30seconds of movement, and can be setup with a warning limit. you would most likely mount them somewhere besides the A-pillar cuz a pillar is for smaller gauges.
autometer gauges are very good as well, arent as flashy with less features but work just as well. also have big and small sizes in american standard inches. . check greddy.com and look up autometer's website on yahoo or google. hope this helps

By the way, I've used autometer gauges and have had no problems.

to be honest, unless your gonna upgrade your car in the future or you drive it hard now - being stock there really isnt a need for gauges. but i understand you, cuz i want some too even though my car is stock - the best gaues to get would probably be Boost and Oil pressure. greddys special edition silver Peak/warning/hold gauges are beauuuutiful.

heres pics and greddy's site http://www.greddy.com/products/electronics_frame.htm
autometer is a very smart alternative. ive had autometer and im looking for more "flashy" hightech gauges now, thats the only reason im considering gauges. for simplicity and reliability/accuracy autometer is tops.

I will be building up my car, this is just my first step. I am 22 with an evo, not alot of spare cash floating around. I am using the credit card to fix up my car, mostly because it is not real money!
