What to put in third gauge pod?
 
Currently I have my boost gauge and AFR gauge in the two center vent holes. I am thinking about putting the vents back in and getting a dash panel such as this one: http://www.trackdogracing.com/website/gauges/panels.htm

What could I put in the third pod? I don't think I need any other gauges because I'm not racing or anything. Perhaps just a clock, as my head unit only displays the time when I press a button, not permanently like the stock radio does (and I miss that feature -- I like to just glance down and immediately know the time.)

Any better ideas?

I'd do either EGT or a real TEMP gauge. I am having the same delima right now.

oil temp

I understand the usefulness of a real temp gauge, but I'd hate having a real one AND the stock fake one. Makes more sense to convert the fake one and use that third pod spot for something else.

Get the same panel from ebay for $17.90, free shipping.

How about an EGT?, Or an IAT?

Link please? I searched on ebay and couldn't find it.

Great. Exact same product as the $45 one..

Check out the gauge link, too..
I got an EGT, OP and a Oil Temp gauge, all with senders/probes, plus an oil filter sandwich plate, for under $90, including FeDex shipping. Arrived in 6 days, and they all checked out perfectly.

Too much interference from the car. It will be pegged all the time.
