Question What guages?

I just bought a guage pod for my a-pillar and it holds two guages. One without a doubt is going to be a trans temp guage (a4 guy) and now Im left with deciding with one hole left, what should my final guage be. Whats something else important that I would want to monitor. I was thinking a more accurate water temp guage than the stock one, or else maybe a nitrous one, or fuel pressure? Input appreciated. Thanks

If you are running nitrous and the bottle is not in a visible location, esp if a dry kit I think, you may want bottle pressure. An accurate coolant temp gauge wouldn't be bad to have either. Luckily I have a 98 which means that I already have an accurate one.

Thumbs up

Well for now, its a wet system, and its only jet'd for a 50shot. I wasnt overly worried about it, and I do have a fuel pressure safety switch, so Im not overly worried about that either, and even if I am, I was thinking of putting that under the hood with the switch. Im somewhat sold on the water temp idea myself, but making sure Im not overlooking something else Important.
Thanks for the input!

WATER TEMP!!! This is very important since you have a 99 and the "dummy gauge" in the dash.

Good good, thanks again. Just re-inforces what I was thinking.
