Gauges for turbo build
 
I have almost completed my turbo build and will need to monitor the results. I know I need to get a boost and a wideband gauge for tuning and monitoring. Are there any other gauges that are must haves?

Fuel pressure gauge is always a good one. My car is NA, but I have a wideband and fuel pressure gauge. Knowing the fuel pressure is pretty important.

I run boost, oil temp, oil press, coolant temp, wideband, fuel pressure.

Im switching to an aftermarket ECU/gauge setup, and am selling all my autometer stuff.

PM me if you're interested, they are all the carbon fiber series.

X3 on the fuel pressure gauge. Also if you are auto you may want to run a trans temp gauge, as more power generally means more heat in the transmission as well. Especially if you plan to do any launches off a foot brake or trans brake.

Agreed^ oil pressure, oil temp and transmission temp gauges.

My car is auto. So I already have the stock oil pressure on the dash, would it be better to have an aftermarket? I was planning on getting 3 total gauges. Should I do aftermarket oil pressure, trans temp or oil temp?

Get a wide band, fuel pressure, and boost controller/gauge. If you want to read other things like trans temp, coolent temp, etc get a aero force obd2 gauge to read those other pids.

I run a fuel pressure, truboost controller, and aem uago wide and in my 3 pod piller. I have the aeroforce in on of my vents to read trans temp and coolent temp.

I use oil pressure/oil temp/water temp/boost/wideband gauges (digital AEM) as well as an ethanol content sensor/display.
