Re: Important Turbo gauges (beta13)
I've heard 50/50 on autometer guages. SOme poeple have good things to say about them, some negetive. Still, 50/50 isn't a good average.
Thing is, the bad 50 are probably buying AUtometer's simpliest gauges. Autometer does make some nifty really expensive version of the same gauges. Usually those really $$$ autometer ones are teh ones I don't hear any complaints about.
Either way, whether you get Greddy, Defi, Blitz, HKS, Omori, Apexi, or the EXpesive versions of Autometers, seems like the good ones are just expensive, and you get what you pay for, but not always.

no need to run oil pressure IMO, if you pressure falls below minimum, your oil pressure light on your dash will come on anyway..

Re: Important Turbo gauges (Flamenco-T)
besides, you can't look more at 3 things at one time...
do you know how hard it would be to pay attention to your RPM so y0ou don't over-rev, while looking at how high your EGT is and finding out when your turbo kicks in and see if your Air Fuel is still within perfect range ?
IMPOSSIBLE !!!!
save your money!!!, get two and put your money smewhere else

I wasn't sure how accurate that oil pressure light was.
I have boost and egt right now. so i guess maybe a/f ratio once I get a wideband.
