Finally getting my turbo nytro going and I'm wondering what to get for gauges and what mounts everyone is using. I've done searches and peoples opinions vary greatly. I know I want a wideband and boost gauge and I'm wondering if this is all I need. Also I'm looking for a really clean nice looking gauge mounts, if I could get pictures of what you're using it would be much appreciated.
what gauges to buy

i am using a water temp gauge along with the other two you mentioned. As far as a mount i custom made one up but i seen that CR Racing has some good ones but i think they are kind of expensive IMO.
PRO LOGGER?
WHY NOT JUST BUY A PROLOGGER?

boost the 2 5/8 autometer liquid filled & aem air fuel, the ngk works great too but is a pain to mount.a fuel pressure gauge is nice to have for trouble shooting but just mount it under the hood.cr makes the best mount period they are pricy but his stuff is very nice plus great guy to deal with.as for the prologger i know allot of guys that have had lots of probs with them they dont like moisture.
I liked the CR mounts as well, but just couldn't see spending that kind of cash on guage mounts..... I went with west coast sleds mount. Fit and finish was decient and shipping was fast, I'd definatly do business with them again. I got the cups off eBay for $12 each and gauge mount was $40. Not a bad setup for under $75 bucks. I can get some pic's of them mounted tonight if ya want. As far as gauges go, I have a AEM A/f gauge that works well, and a digital boost gauge, which I'm not a fan of I'll be going to a 2 5/8 autometer boost gauge soon.
That looks like a good setup, any pics mounted would be appreciated. The turbo kit I ended up with is the push kit. I picked it up for super cheap and couldn't pass it up. I've seen some video of one running and it was fairly impressive. I'm hoping I don't regret it. I'll be installing it tomorrow, stupid ups came when I was at dinner and didn't leave the boxes so I can't get it until the morning talk about pissed off.

its just a copy cat of the cr one.
I'm not sure who made the bracket first, but WCS's is half the price! What make CR's so much better? IMO cr's mark up is a little extreme. They sell avid drivers for almost twice as much as avid...... Just my .02 of course.
I'll post some installed pic's tomorrow.
