Ill be orderong gauges from westach. So far I am going to get boost/egt combo and fuel pressure. Is there anything else I should get from them when I place my order? Where can I get a jumptronix o2 gauge from? I'd like to watch my o2's because ill be installing a blow through in about 2 weeks. I already found the MAF and I will be ordering the translator tomorrow. What else do I need?

RRE should have the Jumptronix (Now Zeitronix) O2 meter.

Be sure to get the silicone reducers (obviously) for the MAF size that you already have and some decent T-bolt clamps. Napa has the clamps for close to $2.75 each.

If I was to do it over again I would have picked up a boost/fp and oil press/water temp guages from SPA. 2 gauges, 4 readings.

Since the release of WB 02/EMS/DSMLink, 02 and egt has become unnecessary.

How are spa gauges priced in comparisson to westach? Until your post I had never even heard of the company. The dsmlink is said to launch next month however, there is no garuntee and I don't want to boost the car very hard or run a maf without being able to read egt's and o2's. The maf is getting installed in a few weeks so I need an interim solutin between now and the dsmlink.

SPA is priced pretty close to the same getting 2 autometer guages. So figure about an extra $100 over Westach.

Yeah, I'm going to have to say again, even with a wideband (and DSMLink is new to the wideband area, but others are not) EGT's are still VERY useful. Hell I run individual cyl trims off 4 EGT probes into my AEM.

Well I just placed my order with Westach.

I got a standard EGT with exposed tip probe and a boost gauge. Should come to about $150 to my door.
