Question Gauges

Not sure if there is a 2.4 post about gauges but, if i put gauges in my 2.4 would any of them be useful like the volts, oil pressure, gas pressure, boost... things like that, they look cool but i dont want to drop money on them just to have them light up...

If you don't know what gauges would be useful in your car, then why do you wanna put gauges in? If your car is stock, or near stock, then you likley don't need any extra gauges to monitor anything. Maybe a scan gauge (from Aeroforce) just for peace of mind maybe....and to clear DTC codes. Don't be a boy racer and get gauges just b/c they "look cool". Get them when they actually deem neccesary.

um.....you kinda need a form of forced induction (supercharger, turbocharger) to require a boost gauge.....

you could also get a dashhhawk, you can have everything you want on it, put it the color you want, use it as a performance timer or a code reader.

Ah so you are getting Joe to tune your car, he will get your car eunning great, he is the guy I go to when I have questions about tuning.

To the OP, Right now I am running an AEM UEGO and debateing on the areoforce scangauge or and EGT gauge.
