Yeah I was out last night imagining myself in some B00ST!

There is quite a few catch cans on the market with low cost involved.

I want to but on top of a good setup being pretty pricey, I haven't found a good location for it in an already crowded engine bay.

Hey guys, I have a quick question about gauges, what do you guys think about the GReddy multi gauge?

16001710
GReddy

I would have to buy the gauge then a few addons. Does anyone run these gauges? and would they fit in a side pillar?

As far the catch can, I believe I will get one as some point, but that is lower on the list ATM. I want to buy the gauges and bc by the end of sunday.

I run that gauge. It's great but it's discontinued.

I see you're looking into gauges. Can't go wrong with innovative Motorsports. Also I didn't go pillar. Here's my thread on the gauge "swap" I personally would go boost, a/f, and oil pressure. Also take a look at Podi. They make very good quality parts and they're dual electronic gauges can save some space. But if you really want to ball out you should buy the Defi multi gauge. Spot on and shows all the data at once using hard wired sensors like any other "real" gauge. No obd2 ****.

Replaced my factory Gauges!

Edit. Just remembered you have a g37 lol.

Thanks for the input. Yeah i don't think i have bid enough balls to do what you did. I will prob go with the gale force pillar. I know i want a/f, boost, oil pressure and fuel pressure. Lack of fuel=lean condition and melted pistons... Anyone know of a gauge that will show both oil and fuel pressure as i am limited to two pods with what i want to do

Check out Podi for real. They're a/f uses the innovative sending unit so it's the same ****. But they have 2 in one gauges that work great. My buddy's been running them in his fully built gli for years. The sending United are also very responsive. Left my prosports in the dust when it came to accuracy lol

If you're really serious about saving space. Check this out.... It's the real deal

I do like that unit, and it is not that much money, if it was only in a blueish color. I would like to drive it hard, and enter some shows so I would like a matching look. You can get the older style gauge for like 171 dollars on ebay with all the senors; seems like a steal to me. I am really looking for that GReddy one with three sensors. It would have boost, oil temp and oil pressure, I would then get a Invoate A/F along with a pillar pod. Thanks for all the advice guys, hopefully this weekend I can put up a few pictures before the work starts.

Have a look at the new multi gauges from Innovate Motorsports Digital Monitoring Products, Tuning Tools, & Controllers. Innovate Motorsports

Have you guys seen inovates new combined boost controler gauge/ wideband afr gauge? It is a boost controller, boost gauge, afr gauge, and it has afr to boost feedback so it can cut boost if you go lean = the shiz
