Meters and Gauges

Making changes to your car is what tuning is all about. When switching out exhaust pieces for larger diameter replacements, or switching out injectors for better fuel delivery, you are changing the amount of power your car produces or amount of fuel it is able to drink. To help monitor the vitals of your engine, companies like HKS, Trust, Apex'i make meters/gauges to help you keep track of your temperature, pressure, and boost levels. The necessity and popularity of aftermarket meters/gauges are so high, there are companies that specialize in strictly making gauges. Some examples of these companies include Defi, Pivot, Stri, and others.

The following are the most common meter/gauge types available:
-Boost Pressure
-Oil Pressure
-Fuel Pressure
-Oil Temperature
-Water Temperature
-Exhaust Temperature
-Tachometer
