I need a gauge...

[Yaj Yak]

i dont know what tho. i have a hole for one, and need one there, right now, i have only gauges which really interest me, trans temp, boost, and oil pressure... my aem uego wideband will be here this weekend, and i have one more hole for a gauge... i want it to be something that would actually be good to know on my car, without spending 4 million dollars... i was thinking an egt gauge, or oil temp gauge... but i dunno. those are kinda $$$$$ and i dont know if there is something else i should be watching.

any ideas?

so maybe something like this...

or this...

Fuel pressure?

 

[Spicy McHaggiz]

I'd suggest EGT

 

[DanJ]

I've got a fuel pressure gauge which I find helpful.

 

[Yaj Yak]

is it an electronic fuel pressure gauge?

EGT is basically going to tell you the same thing the wide band will and I would take a FP gauge over an oil temp all day but my car isn't turbo so oil temp doesn't concern me...

Oil temp you could T off the line that feeds the turbo...... But Fuel pressure would be a helpful gauge to have

How about a MONICAAAAA! Gauge?

 

[The Broken Regal]

lol you silly gp owners need boost gauges

um in all seriousness and for cheaper... i actually found a volts gauge for the car helpful especially for tuning when you have to watch your volts when flashing the pcm and also if you have a sub/system you can watch it and make sure you dont drain your battery to dead

I'm with these guys. If you have a oil cooler i wouldn't worry about oil temp

 

[Yaj Yak]

thats the thing... i dont have an oil cooler.

 

[E]

Fuel pressure now, oil temp or cooler later

 

[SHOmuff]
