installing gauges

two questions.

1)which gauges are most needed or useful? i already have the boost gauge, but want to get a 2 or 3 pod holder for the pillar. i'm looking at air-fuel mixture and oil pressure.

2)how do i install these gauges? seriously. i can't take out the dash. any experienced advice and instructions will be appreciated.

What kind of power are you pushing?? If you just have a stock setup you really don't need anything..... maybe a boost gauge if you wanna know how much pressure you are pushing.

how to install boost gauge....

http://www.mr2.com/ARTICLE/HKS_46mm.html

most ppls will have an air/fuel guage as a second one...even though its just a bunch of pretty lights(need a wide band o2 sensor to get an accurate A/F ratio)....

http://www.mr2.com/ARTICLE/AutoProAFMonitor.html

if u haven't already...and this is a must to all mr2 owners....spend some time and read, read....and read some more.... www.mr2.com contains tons of great info....

Boost, Oil Press., and Water Temp (True you already have water temp, but a new one would actually be accurate )

Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Pressure are the big ones. Don't waste your money on an AF guage unless you decide to do a full wideband kit.
