Everyone should go the high boost setup F- low boost.
not all of us are as lucky to have scored a manual transmissioned fit.
and i'm pretty sure there are some members here who are sticking with the 5lb kit anyway.
even if you didn't do the injector upgrade and all you had was the stock exhaust, you are still looking at a much livelier ride, and a fun daily driver.
The idea of the high boost is mouth-watering...but not so much that the low boost idea is 'effed'.
OJR: thanks for all the useful info! and guys, PLEASE READ THE THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! A lot of these questions were answered in the previous thread! If you are on this site, chances are you have time as your ally, USE IT WISELY, and don't make this thread cumbersome to read through as well!
As long as I get it by May 16th, I'll be ok lol...

Oscar,
Out of these 3 gauges, which 2 would you choose or would you consider to be more beneficial or useful for going the s/c route. Also, would you recommend of having them? Which do you think is most important to have. If none, then please let us know. Thanks
I personally have got Boost, Oil Temp, and Oil Press. I think a wideband A/F is very beneficial but is quite expensive, and so would a EGT gauge. But I think the KW SC has been well developed and isn't a homemade turbo/SC kit, so I went with the simpler ones But thats my 0.02 which don't mean much compared to OJr.'s

- Oil Pressure
- Wideband Air/Fuel
- Boost/Vac
Wideband A/F is a definite must and it pays for itself easily. AEM UEGO wideband can be had for around 200-250shipped. (last i checked was 6 months ago). Its more necessary with universal setups. You need to know if u're running optimal A/F and that the tune is fine for your car. Plus, idle problems, stuttering issues, etc can all be observed by a/f. Can help u determine if a problem is tune related or mechanical.
Oil pressure, not as important with supercharger b/c u're not tapping into the stock oil system are ya? I thought it has its own self-oiling system.
Boost/Vac, if ya want. Not necessary.
EGT, its a lot more useless than anything. A wideband will tell you much faster and easier to read. EGT readings will vary depending on where u place the probe.

Gauges are NOT required or needed.
If I had to pick gauges, the Vac/Boost Gauge and Wideband A/F would be my choices.

Yeah I was gonna get the WB, but its too costly in the end for me. The oil temp and pressure is more to fill up the two extra holes I'll have in the gauge pod haha. Good to know though in case you run your car hard. But definitely wideband A/F.

fyi the scangauge has a host of readings that are useful. not oil pressure but it does have MAP. i know the max it is reading at now is aroung 14.5 or so so when i am in boost i will just subtract that and that should give me an indication of where i am at. also has water temp, open/cls loop, throttle position, volts, intake air temp, timing, and probably others too. And it displays/clears engine codes. in addition i have the AEM wideband a/f. that is a good one. supports data logging if you choose and can be piggybacked with other aftermarket FIC's if you wanted to.

Off topic but I will be custom making a pod for the gauges I decide to put inside. Made from fiberglass. Who knows, everyone that goes forced induction might want me to make them one too hehe. Lets see if I do a write up since its my first time.

The ScanGauge will not see boost on the Base kit.
