Changes, Changes, Changes, *New Gauge*. . . .
Well, I haven't driven my car for a while, because it needed a few things. . .
Oil Change, Leaking Rad. Hose. . .
Buttt, I decided to add an oil temp gauge when I changed the oil, and needed to pull the Downpipe, Dumptube, Oil pan etc...to do so.
So here the car sits for a lil while:

Instead of getting paid to install headers in my friends mustang, I convinced him to give me this:

So now, my collection of Gauges looks a lil sumnthin like this:

Now, all I need is an EGT gauge mounted right next to the new oil temp, and I'm set. The gauges will then include:
-Oil Pressure
-Boost/Vac
-Air fuel (not needed at all)
-Oil Temp
-EGT
Most of them are necessary for my Turbo motor

How so? Tell me which ones aren't necessary? (Not including A/F)
Boost --Need to see if boost suddenly spikes, or is not reaching full boost at all
Oil Press-Need to constantly monitor in case of oil pump failure, engine should be shut down right away
Oil Temp- Need to know when oil reaches full operating temp, so I can beat on it, andd if the oil temp is getting too hot, then I need to change oils, or figure out the problem.
I don't have a wideband, so the EGT is kinda needed too. JIC of injector failure or something, it may be the difference between a semi blown motor, or melting the entire thing and throwing rods. . .

I agree. I have an A/F guage and it does **** all. Even with a wideband it's inaccurate. It looks *blingy* though so I guess all is not lost.

Well I got mine with my first turbo kit I bought, so why not throw it in? I would NEVER buy one thou. . .
