i am thinking of running boost guage, a/f guage, oil pressure so far...any other suggestions?? do i need like any sort of temp. guages??

 

hopefully your thinking of going with an AEM or PLX wideband A/F gauge. the autometers are narrowband and read off of the stock o2.

i'd run exactly those, boost pressure, oil pressure, and wideband A/F display.

 

In order of importance:

1. Boost
2. Oil Pressure
3. Egt

I run Defi guages along with a PLX M-300 wide band

 

auto meter for me... cheap and good so far. also auto meter is probably one of the best companys to deal with, if your **** breaks you get a new one FREE!

 

I have Stewart Warner guages. Boost, Vacuum & AFR.

All greddy electronic FTW!!

 

i run a combination, stewart warner boost/vacuum gauge and a autometer oil pressure, but for some odd reason it doesnt read right.

 

I run all autometer..

Boost
Air Fuel - Integrated with my lc-1 wideband
Oil Pressure

 

water temp
oil pressure
oil temp
boost
air-fuel via lm1 (big and bulky, but convienient for other cars)

 

auto meter:

boost gauge
oil pressure gauge
a/f gauge

to be added:
auto meter water temp
plx m-300 wideband o2 sensor

 

I'm running a Stewart Warner Boost/Vacuum gauge and a wideband with display.

 

defi d-gauge:
boost, oil pressure, egt

plx m-300

excuse me?

 

lol, I guess that was kinda rude.

I really think EGT is near useless, IMO afr is the most important.

I can agree with that. If you have the $$$ for a wide band then EGT is not nearly as important .... I added the WB a while after the guages.

But when running without a WB an EGT guage can let you know if you start running dangerously lean in time to save your motor.

 

Zeitronix Display! 4 readings in 1. I would say EGT gauge is very important. The bolts to my turbo kept coming loose cause my EGTs were too high. Every couple of weeks I was loosing bolts. I added timing which brought the EGTs down and since then I never had that problem again. If I had no EGT reading I probably would have never figured out the problem. So I'll give the EGT gauge a BIG from experience!

 

autometer EGT, Boost

 

i love my greddy's
boost
oil pressure
egt

lol. afr gauges are just as useless as egt gauges unless your talking about wideband

 

defi imperial link gauge, and an aem uego wideband.

 

megan racing 45 dollar specials boost/oil temp/water temp/oil pressure

 

I run autometer boost/egt/oil for 3 years and have no complaints.

 

wo, so if I have a PLX wideband and run the signal wire to an autometer gauge will it work fine?
