hey wassup guyz i have a triple gauge pod. and for the last year the third pod has been empty i dunno what to get. i got boost and air/fuel ratio guage. what should i get for the third pod? i dont wanna get oil pressure cuz i heard its a bitch to install. and i dont want to mess with my feed line.. any suggestions?

 

Definitely EGT

i second that...

 

EGT is an awesome choice.

Did you install yer turbo? IF you did its not too hard to install an oil pressure sensor compared to the turbo install

 

EGT would be the best option

hmm but i already got air/fuel ratio guage. isnt that the same almost? stupid question sorry ... is it hard to install a egt? the probe??

yeah my turbo kit is installed. do i have to take out my dp to install the probe? cuz its gonna be a bitch for me if so..

umm no EGT is exhaust gas temp , totally different than air fuel . you drill into the #3 runner on the manifold and put the probe in there .

oil pressure is also a good guage choice

 

get the EGT!!

and those stupid christmas tree light A/F gauges aren't even worth looking at... replace it with oil pressure. or a wideband =D

damn does this mean that i have to remove everything? like the manifold and everything. cuz when drill into it the metal stuff. hmm sounds like alot of work.. cant just put it on my dp?

 

get rid of air/fuel....get EGT and oil pressure.

air fuel is just a light show, its good for nothing. get rid of it and get egt and oil press. also oil temp is a good one.

Just install the guage on the pod, then take it to a shop to get exhaust manifold tapped or unless you can do it yourself. I took mine to get tapped a few days ago, and it took only like 10 mins. Mostly because they have the right tools.

 

what gauge brand would u recommend? i current have 3 autometer gauges, i could replace the LIGHT SHOW for the EGT.

 

vdo pretty nice stuff

 

if you want function then the Greddy EGT, either the peak-hold or non-peak hold, is one of the most accurate EGT's guages.

 

i have and LOVE defi guages they look sick and are acurate.

Cost me 30 bucks and didnt have to remove anything. They just drilled the heat shield first, then tapped into the exhaust manifold while the engine was running so that the metal pieces get blown out.

Or I think you could find the tap they use and do it yourself as well.

 

I'd say either Oil pressure or EGT

actually get both and ditch the a/f ratio guage

hmm isnt that gonna mess up the turbine? since the metal stuff is shootin out the exhuast manifold and to the turbo then dp?? sorry for the questions but thats what it sounds like to me..

 

Ditch the narrow band A/R and install EGT and EOP. The EOP is not that difficult to install if you use an electric gauge.

It wont mess up the turbine at all. This is the way it's done. The metal stuff doesnt reach the turbo or dp cause the metal flakes shoot straight out of the manifold into the air and not through the turbo or dp.
