Default Boost and Air/Fuel Gauge Questions

Not exactly sure where to post this, but will any aftermarket Boost gauge work, or is there a specific one for the Turbo Regals. Also, I have seen some Air Fuel Gauges in the aftermarket that tell whether the car is running lean or rich. Will these work too? Is there a specific one for the regal? thanks.

I dont think there is a specific one..Seems most of us like to use the Autometer gauges..I have all sport comps in my car...Very simple hook ups for the Boost/Vac and the A/F...Boost gauge is the tubing you tee in, and then the wire for the lighting and ground... A/F you tap into the o2 sensor wire off the ecm, a ignition hot wire, ground and lighting...Check out Autometers site, they have pretty detailed instructions...I'm about to dump the A/F meter, other than looking pretty at night it doesnt do much...

I use VDO gauges myself.

The A/F gauge is sort of a waste, IMHO. You have a scan tool, so why not look at the numbers that generates. Granted, you can't look going down the street all the time, but your tune should not change that much day to day.

I'm probably going to swap it out for something important like trans temp...I use the SM for "watching" my o2's...When the SM cable for logger comes will allow you to watch WBo2's....
