gages
First I've heard of those for reccommendations, I always thought the fuel pressure, boost/vac, and wideband were the norm. Trans temp if you were an auto which I jsut order these 4 gagues today. I guess it would depend the application the vehicle is enduring, if you can provide good cooling and not constantly beating on it the oil and water temp could do without. Also, the ambient temperature too of course.
Ok but what if something go's for **** while you are in the driver's seat? I was going to install one on my rail but thought why? Each to his own, and not arguing either. BTW, too bad your O2 was messed up today. Was curious how she was going to do. You hear allot of blowers on stock blocks but not so much turbo's so I think you should hit your 500rwhp mark with 6-7 psi instead of the 8psi ish that it take from a blower. Good luck!

I do have a trans temp mounted in the went already though.I was thinking boost and wide band. This has got me thinking about adding the oil and water temp to my already 4 gauges. I still don't really see the point though, you already have water temp. I know its not that acurate but I mean its close enough to know if you are close to or are overheating the car. As for oil temp, haven't heard of that boiling. Maybe more of a concern with a turbo'd car though.
The most important gauge is the wideband, followed by fuel pressure, and then boost. If your A/F, fuel pressure, and tune is good, then there is no real need for a boost gauge.

Exactly. My WBO2 kept me from torching the engine more than once when I was tuning and is still the most used gauge in my car.BTW, here's what I'm running: AEM WBO2, Elec FP, Boost, and H2O Temp
