I was wondering what gauges i could install on my car. like a tach because mine dont have one, and others just for show
Don't install any just for show. Install gauges that are going to tell you things you want to know.
What are you concerned about? If you're running a big audio setup and want to know about a voltage drop, install a voltmeter. If you want to know if you're losing oil pressure and are about to wreck your engine, put in an oil pressure sensor.
You get the idea...
or if you get a turbo and wanna know your boost or nitrous and you wanna know how much is left or what weasel said.

well you dont have your engine listed in your reg, but if you want a tach and dont have one (im assuming you got a 2.2) you will need an adaptor for it.
i didnt just mean for show. they would have a use. but yea i wanted a an oil pressure gauge, and now that you mentioned audio i want one of those. is the tach a hard thing to install
depends, what motor do you have? i have pics on my car domain page on how to hook up the autometer tach adaptor. it shows you what wires to cut into to get a signal. hooking up the actual tach itself is not a problem.
or do what i did and get a new cluster with a tach, its plug and play, plus i think the stock look is soooo much better than a huge tach on the dash
but to each his own
i have a feul pressure gauge, EGT gauge, and im planning on oil pressure and a nitrous gauge cause i run nitrous
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
I want to get a voltmeter, oil pressure, and that new Gravana guage.
Where could I get the guages in the same size with a pod?
autometer for the gauges, and get a lotek pillar pod

You have a 2k. On the 2k+ the clusters are plug n play. Ol' boy here has a 99. Not plug n play. He will have to use the tach adapter mentioned above.
