Need one more gauge

killermillermr2 · 02-20-2009, 09:46 PM

Well... just bought a dual gauge pod and dont have enough gauges to fill it. I made a steering column gauge holder for 2 as well. I have a boost pressure, oil pressure, and A/F ratio. Need one more to fill all spots. any recomendations?

Oil temp or EGT

^ which one would be better to monitor? EGT for better tuning? (FYI for 5sfte)

EGT would act as a check on the air/fuel and would help with tuning. Oil temp will just tell you if you are cooking your oil getting your turbo nice and hot (if your turbo is watercooled, I would go with EGT)

I do plan on running water to the tubo so EGT it is. Man, those things are kind of expensive!
