i'm in the process of getting my turbo kit together and i'm buying gauges right now... i have selected boost, oil press, and havent picked the 3rd gauge... which one should i get? i choose from:

oil temp
water temp (pointless i have one in the cluster)
volt
air/fuel
vacuum

leaning towards oil temp or air/fuel... what is yall's opinion?

tia

 

anybody?

 

Vacuum.

You're turboing.

An A/F ratio would be key too.

Usually boost and vaccuum come on the same guage. That's weird that they're seperate.

 

Wide band Air/fuel. Its more important than any of the ones that you have already selected. Just my .02

 

Oil temp is useful
water temp...not so much, youre right (though the factory one isnt super wonderful)
volt...probably not necessary
air/fuel...totally useless unless youre running wideband
vacuum...you should just get a boost gauge that has both (+) and (-) pressures

Personally, I went with oil temp, as my third....but I do plan on getting a wideband plx w/ matching gauge too

 

ya i ordered oil temp as my third... i'll probably put air/fuel in when i boost

and they have a boost/vacuum gauge and just a plain vacuum gauge... can you say pointless? i went with the boost/vacuum gauge, oil press, and oil temp

thanks guys
