#92334, "gauges"


          

im jsut curious at what gauges are reccomended for my turbo setup.
rite now i have boost, a/f, oil pres, and oil temp. ive been reading that fuel pressure gauge is pretty important for tuning the fuel and i know an egt gauge is good but basically i was wondering if i should trade like the oil temp for the fuel pres. what is reccomended?

Get rid of the A/F blinky light gauge. oile temp is something you cn remove the gauge and leave the wiring. Oil tem is something you can chk every now and then but no need to monitor it.

I would get the EGT guage, keep you a/f since you already have it,i find it is useful in serving as a warning. A fuel gauge will be useful when it comes to tuning.

Get rid of the a/f and spend 200 on a good wideband. You won't regret it and if your going to make any power with your car, you'll NEED it.

I'd also get and EGT gauge and drop the oil temp. I'm more worried about the pressure. emoji

I also have an air intake temp gauge which I find useful. You can really feel a difference if you know what temp the air is at, it's kind of cool emoji
