I have an autometer phantom boost gauge in the car, but it is getting lonely in a 3 gauge pod all by itself.

What else is important?

Currently thinking of AFR meter (not 100% sure what knowing this does for me...)

Is oil pressure worth considering? If so, do I make a new pod with 4 holes. (it's only thin plywood topped in dashboard vinyl and carbon film on the front)

Would like to stick to the same gauge type.

if your only fitting 3 gauges the first has to be boost gauge.
the other 2 depend really on your other mods.
if you've got a dawes fiited go for the a/f ratio gauge and oil pressure.
if not, the oil pressure and oil temp.

Thanks - have the boost gauge installed already.

I'm not sure about what engine mods I'll do yet.

I'm trying to make sure that I can see what's going on up front first...

Do Autometer do them in the Phantom range? If so that's the best idea. Thanks!
