analog guages.

if analog is what your want.. (pillar guages) you gotta get the catipilar a pillar mount, guages. it really varies in price. mechanical or electrical. but the two companies that i would trust would be auto meter and apex., for a SC i would say get a boost guage, air fuel ratio, oil temp, oil press, and that one guage i forgot what it was that tells you when your engine is about to blow up.. i forgot the prices. but u can get em' all over the place. on the net a good place might be NOPI they got a whole lotta stuff. i think it's http://www.nopi.com. but just do a search on "auto meter guages" and alotta sites will pop up. alotta ppl are also sayin' stay away from carparts.com because they lag like crazy.

None yet, but I prefer they way Loren did his w/ smaller analog guages mounted in the console instead of larger ones on the A pillar.

not sure.

i dont' know the model numbers. but mechanical guages are more accurate, but harder to install, for oil, u gotta run a oil line into the car and into the guage, if that cracks then u got oil all over the inside of your car, same with all the other guages. the apex avc can also read your throttle position, can read as well as adjust your air fuel mixture, read rpm, boost, and something else.. it got cool graphics, you can chose wheter you want the digital read out or the analog or the graph all at a touch of a button, it's just one unit. my bro has the super-afc on his lude. works great.

Apexi AVC-R is a digital boost controller. Will not work for Supercharged cars. Im using it for my turbo. Im also using Apexi Boost, EGT and Fuel pressure gauges. Autometer makes a single and dual pillar pod for the Maxima. Apexi S-AFC lets you lean or richen your mixture. I juss bought one and hopefully will install it soon. Later
