Oil Press. Gauge: 0-100 psi or 0-200 psi???
I'm thinking of buying my gauges real soon (even though I won't have my turbo for like 10 more weeks) because I can get a good deal on autometer gauges right now.
I'm looking at getting the 20 psi Boost gauge, 0-1600 EGT and an Oil Pressure gauge. Should I get the 0-100 psi or 0-200 psi oil pressure gauge?? And I know electric is easier to install and more accurate so should I spend the extra $20 and get the electric oil gauge?? Thanks in advance!
Here's what the gauges look like... closest to stock gauges that I could find other than Omori which cost too damn much!

0-100 psi if fine. You will only see at most 90 psi from the stock oil pump.

electric if ever possible.. you dont want fluids in the car should there be an accident...
hot *** oil well... kinda burns and makes a real good mixture wtih gasoline for a good sized BBQ..
Do you know what a "Screaming Alpha" is??
trust me you dont want to know... get electrical and avoid possible danger..

Youd be a "screaming bravo" if you had hot oil on you and caught on fire. Class alpha fires are like paper, wood or trash

Ive always heard that the mech. guages were more accurate because on the elect. guages the readings will fluctuate with voltage unless you have some way to isolate your guages from other components ie.. stereo headlights ect..
