Alright everyone, I bucked up and bought a turbonetics system for my 05 V8. I bought the kit used, needless to say had to order some replacement pipes for the kit because the kid who had it before me cut 3 of them for what reason I have no f-ing idea. Maybe he was taking a welding class or something. So in the meantime I am getting ready to order gauges. Obviously boost gauge is one, I would like to use the saleen 15psi gauge that is used for the saleen S/C, but I dont know if thats possible. I am going to order the SCT wireless touch screen tuner. I know I should get an A/F ratio gauge to see where I am running and probably air temp. Does anyone know what the SCT tuner will be reading and what else I would need. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Additionally I am ordering a boost controller to adjust boost from inside the car.
Thanks in advance for any help - Rob
Rob,
With the kit your going with and how much stuff you want to monitor I would go with the SCT TSX Touch Screen Tuner - Your gonna have a SICK setup with the turbo and Saleen Body style, you should go best with the monitoring equipment too...

Let me know if you want a price on it. Not to mention it's wireless so therefore you can keep it plugged into your ODB Port and it will communicate wirelessly with the LCD Touch screen. A little pricey but in the long run it will pay off for everything you can monitor with it including EGT's, Air/Fuel, IATs... all from that single source.
For gauges I would do Fuel Pressure, Boost (You can use any gauge for boost, it splices in near the main gas line where vacuum is), and Oil pressure...! If you decide to use an Oil Pressure gauge, make sure you get this adapter-
