So I'm finishing up the ordering for my turbo setup and I wanted to know what you guys think I should do about the boost gauge. I'm going A-pillar mount like the SS (mine's a base) and I have narrowed my options of three different gauges.

1. White numbering on a black face
2. Blue numbering backlit on a black face
3. Black face with a 7 color option that I can change with a button on the face

Each has their pros and cons, but I wanted to see what the feeling was from other Cobalt owners. Price isn't a real factor here, they're all close and they're all the same size and work the same.

Thanks!

Where are you getting a turbo from and how are you going about tricking the ECU?

PS. Get whatever matches your stock gauges best

 

3. Black face with a 7 color option that I can change with a button on the face
sounds prerty sweet, you can change the color according to your mood

 

...

You said to give you my two cents. Here ya go!



I like option 2 better.

 

smart ass.. lol

 

thanks, Sneaky! Now I only need about 150,000 other people to make a donation and I'll have this thing paid for!

 

Whats your paypal?

 

Ever check into the Zeitronix Unit?

It allows you to display your boost, a/f ratio and EGT (which are 3 important things you should have) all in one display. It looks like this:



For more info go to http://www.zeitronix.com.

I personally have it and love it One of the best $500 spent (for the full kit).

 

try to match the stock guages best you can
i wonder if a stock SS boost guage would be able to be hooked up for your setup

 

i would go with number 3, so you can change colors of the gauge when you want.

 

w/e matches stock is the best way to go

 

Good call Tiny. Go with the pillar and boost gauge from an ss/sc.

 

I think I'm going with Option 1. It matches stock best.
I can't use the SS gauge becuase it is controlled electronically instead of a direct feed from the manifold. Too bad too because that A-pillar looks tight.

thanks everybody for the imput!

 

option 3 or the digital one that NJHK tossed at ya w/ the other readouts ...

 

The other option you may want to look into (if it'll work i'm not 100% sure) would be the interceptor gauge. Hooks up to your obd2 connection and can display quite a sum of things. I know they have one for the SS/SC but I'm not sure about the other models.

I would definetly go with an inetceptor gauge.

 

where are you getting the turbo kit from?

 

The 7 Color one sounds totally Ghetto..

 

where is your porche brian?!?!?!?!?

 

id have to say 1....i think itd look good if you could get it to macth up to the color of the stock gauges..

 

Number 1 or the Zeitronix unit. I think the unit would be a little better.
