For the CT SC Members

I recently purchased a SC for my 6 spd and I was considering guages for the set up once install. Again, I will not be doing the HBP, basically only the stock SC kit as sold by CT. Would it be okay just installing a fuel pressure guage and air to fuel guage with my CT SC? Instead of installing the boost guage since the boost is low (4psi). What is the general opinion regarding my rational?

Also, regarding the A/F guage would I need to get a different oxgen sensor to work with it or is the guage a plug and play device that will work with the stock sensor?

Advice needed pronto

Congrats on your purchase.

A boost gauge isn't required but it would be a nice thing to have. It will assist in diagnosis of problems (belt slip, etc).

Fuel pressure gauge is a must. The Comptech fuel pressure regulator has been known to fail from time to time.

Adding an additional O2 sensor is needed for an Air/Fuel gauge. The stock O2 sensor only reads narrowband not wideband. I recently purchased the AEM Wideband UEGO Controller. It includes the gauge and the sensor... everything you need to monitor AFR. An additional 02 sensor bung will need to be welded somewhere between the primary O2 sensor bung location and the cat.
