I know this has been done to death but Im asking again. Last year I ran with just a WB and boost gauge. This year Im thinking of adding fuel pressure and atleast 1 more, if not 2. Ive been thinking oil pressure is important but I already have one on the dash. Im not sure how important oil temp would be. And it would be a pain in the *** to put a probe in the cast iron manifold for an EGT.

Ideas?

Fuel pressure for sure. I was going to say EGT next. Why are you wanting so many gauges in the first place? You can do just fine with FP, and Boost, and then tuck wideband down in front of your shifter. Thats what I'm doing.

Im kind of OCD about symmetry, lol. I have my boost gauge in the middle of my vents and my A/F down below where the lighter was. Id like to put 3 gauges in the vents, so its symmetrical

Silly I know.

After thinking about it, it shouldnt be too hard to tap the cast iron manifold for an EGT. I think Ill tap it at #7 or 8 that way I have the hottest cylinder(s) probed.

oil temp?

Well I have AFR, boost, Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp, and coolant temp.

all I have is boost, i log everything else in efi-live. going down the track i have too much other stuff to worry about than watching 5 different gauges

I'm going with boost/vacuum, wideband, and fuel pressure on my turbo build.

I agree I have my AFR and Fuel pressure up on my roll cage that I can easily see them while running down the track, The other are just there for monitoring in the staging lanes and on the street,

im the same way, main reason i like the interior of my F150 so much

i have 3 in the vents, boost/wb/coolant temp (damn dummy gauge), and fuel pressure in the hood cowl right in the line of sight

Get a PLX and be able to add on any one of those in one gauge.

I don't think anyone should have their afr gauge buried behind the shifter. Once you pull that last gear, that should be what you are watching going down the track. Typically speaking, if anything else goes wrong, it will show in your afr.

Oil pressure is on the cluster. Trans temp is very important for an auto. Oil temp is a good one and so is water temp as the stock gauge is very inaccurate or not a gauge at all if you have a 99+ (basically a dummy light with 4 positions.

Water temp (since the stocker is a dummy light), boost/vacuum, and fuel pressure. If your tune is right and your fuel pressure is good, then I would feel safe assuming my AFR is good... and, I much prefer fuel pressure to AFR because it's better for troubleshooting fuel system issues, and it's not as obnoxious-looking.

I have an AF gauge down below. Im keeping that for sure, if nothing else for assurance.

Here's what I'm replacing my boost gauge with...

That or maybe nitrous pressure, but that doesn't really apply to your build.
