Anyone running a Boost or Air/Fuel ratio gauge?

Travis1807 · 02-18-2016, 07:35 AM

Just wanted to find out if anyone is running a boost or air/fuel ratio gauges?

On my last vehicle I had a custom fiberglass dual gauge pod built into my A pillar. my concern about doing that with my X5M is the airbag.

I wanted to see if anyone is currently running aftermarket gauges and in what spot they have them mounted.
I have seen the gauge that fits into the air vent but i don't believe it will show your air/fuel ratio which is a must have for me.

Please give me some ideas and any pictures of your custom jobs are welcome.

P3 is nice, Awron is very nice too. Both are pretty pricey. I just run Torque Pro app on my Android phone.

I have the P3cars unit on mine--it's been spectacular. Watch the for sale section on this forum. One already installed into the vent duct will be for sale shortly.

Is there anyway to get the P3cars unit to display an air/fuel ratio?

Is it possible make a gauge pod in the A pillar like the one pictured below even though we have an airbag in that pillar. These shots are from my boosted Jeep SRT8.

I think, if you have an analog AFR source, you could use one of the analog inputs on the P3cars gauge. Search on 'afr' here: http://www.p3cars.com/install/#Operation_Details
