I've been thinking about getting Autometer guages installed and have decided that I need the trans temperature guage to read my A4 temperature, the air/fuel guage to see how the car's air/fuel ratio is on the drag strip, and the water temperature guage just to get a much more accurate temperature reading of the car (compared to just using the inaccurate '99-up factory temperature guage). What do you think are the three most important aftermarket guages? Thanks in advance for the info.

I think it depends on the route you go. If you go force induction, you need a boost gauge, probably fuel pressure and a/f at least. If you go spray, you'll want bottle pressure, fuel pressure and again A/F.

But being it sounds like you're keeping it n/a, the gauges you have listed are pretty good. Trans temp is a great one at least. I think you can make an arguement for all the gauges you have listed being important but for your setup the route you're going should be a good one.

I'd say the trans and water temp and oil pressure are probably the ones you'll want to monitor depending on what else (N2O, or F/I) you have planned

IMO you should include an Interceptor Gauge. It monitors a LOT of those parameters including trans temp and is also a problem code reader...I got one!!!

im goin with an A/FR(connected to wideband) gauge in one of the A/C vents, and trans temp, water temp, rear diff temp, and fuel pressure in a panel for where the radio goes(with quick connect harnesses, more on that when i get on it). id say a AFR gauge isn't really any benifit without a wideband hooked up to it. the stock O2s are just not good enough to monitor in real time

what im going to use are..

OIL TEMP
TRANS TEMP (yes i have an M6)
WATER TEMP
OIL PRES.

I have an A4 with at big stall, so tranny temp is important.
I am also going to spray, so I want fuel pressure and nitrous pressure.

Tranny temp is a must have on an A4 and water temp is needed on a non 98 car. A/F is useless unless it's a wideband and you're spraying or boosted.

What about a bolt on car? I want some gauges but cant figure out which 2 would actually be the most useful for me? I need trans temp with my stall, but what other 2 would BEST suit me?

I had one in my 03 Dodge w/ Cummins. It worked pretty good. Very accurate too.

Do the a/f ratio gauges even work accuratly? I think someone told me that they jump around and all this mess. What are your opinions? I never saw one in a car so i'm not sure .

For me I like to do a lot of spirited mountain runs and some road courses. I'd go with Oil Temp and Water Temp

I'm going the oil temp, oil pressure, water temp combo.

Probably be the best for my plans...

oil temp and water temp here.

water temp bc i wanna know if im close to overheating, and oil temp just bc its good to know. if i get more, ill get A/F and rear diff temp

upper one is a D-PIC Autometer unit, lower one is the Interceptor Gauge. Dont mind the bolts...Ive taken care of them!

I've got water temp. and tranny temp. mounted in mine for now. I may add fuel pressure and/or nitrous pressure depending on what future mods I do to the car.
