Need a third gauge... opinions.

I just got my Triple Gauge pillar from ZZP and my AEM Wideband is on the way.

I wanna stick with AEM Gauges for my Pillar (because I'm **** like that)... and am trying to decide which to order for my third gauge. Something that I actually NEED.

SO far, I'm gonna have:

- Boost Gauge
- Wideband
- ???
- Nitrous Pressure (But that's gonna be hidden )

The ones that I am trying to decide between are:

- Oil Pressure Display Gauge
- Water Temperature (We've already got one... but I wonder if this could be rigged to read the Intercooler Coolant Temps...)
- Fuel Pressure (Don't think I really need this one)
- Transmission Temperature (Don't know that I really need this one either)
- Oil Temperature (Don't think I need this one either)
- Voltmeter (Don't think I need this one either)

So which one do you guys think I really need? I would think the Oil Pressure... what are the true TUNER uses for each?

If you want an AEM, then the interceptor is out... but it's far more useful than all the gauges you listed put together. Are you open to re-considering the prospect of having a non-AEM gauge in the third spot?

Yes, I want one of those... but AEM doens't make one. SO I was gonna get HKS gauges... but I like my boost in PSI, not Bar.

I'm a picky mother ******.

I WILL be getting an Intercepter (probably 2). BUT, I have a special place for them:

i get what you are saying with being picky, but you shouldbe thinking more about keeping your motor in one piece

i would say if they all have the same color face and lighting that would be good, thatsa how mine are, they are all black face and all have red lighting

Well, I haven't ordered them yet... so I COULD still get something else. I'd just prefer that they matched my Wideband of current.

There were some Autometers Nexus gauges that I was looking at as well. Maybe I'll check back into those.

Nope... too damn Expensive!

Why does I have to be picky?

Not sure if this helps here is a pic of my ZZP 3 Gauge Pillar with AEM UEGO, Aeroforce and Stock Boost...the pic doesnt do it justice, just make sure all the bezels are the same color, my Aeroforce is chrome bezel with red background and my uego is black face with silver bezel
