I was thinking that gauge along with this one and that pretty well covers it.

You will need a boost gauge... which IMO is the most important gauge when boosted. That being said, I am in the vast minority here on which gauges are actually important. I only run a boost gauge in the pillar and nothing else besides OEM.

edit: I forgot which kit you are running... Supercharged? If supercharged than boost gauge might not even be all that important.

Yep, supercharged, that's why I didn't list a boost gauge. It's probably not a bad idea but I think the afr gauge might be the most important. I'll be on flex fuel that's why I wanted the ethenol content.
I was trying to get the most out of a 2 pod set up.

Will you be able to use one flex fuel sensor for both the gauge and the ecu? I see they sell one w/o the sensor if you already have one. Im assuming its just a matter of sharing the signal by splicing some wires?

That I don't know. Sure would make it more convenient.

I've been using an ECF-1 for over a year now with no issues. Re-purposed the fuel pressure sensor to do oil pressure as the G doesn't have an oil pressure gauge. I thought the display would be too small but its actually pretty easy to read at all times of day. Added bonus: if you are ECUTek tuned you can data log the four data-points as well with the ECUTek software.

If you are going to go flex-fuel you will need to wire in the sensor (tap into the EVAP) so you can get the signal to the ECU.

Thanks for the info. I'll be on ecutek so that's nice to know. What a great idea re-purposing the fuel pressure sensor.

I'm wondering if this gauge might be a better choice instead of the ECF-1?

25%, that's huge! Of course now I wish I would have waited but I already bought the ecb-1. Did you buy a gauge?

Hey... have you, or will you be using this gauge to tell your ECU what the E% is? Seb has told me I still need an ECA-2 for ECUTEK. But this gauge will output an analog 0-5v (0-100%E) signal. How are you handling the flex tune/E% with your ECU? Are you buying additional electronics beyond what the ecb-1 comes with?
