Which Gauges To Get

[illusiVe]

digital dashes can be from about $1500 through to $3000. including built in data logging.

so i mean

4-5 $300 gauges + controller can add up just as much.

i like the whole analog feel. so i prefer a few extra gauges.

personally if you just have 3 gauges I would go:

oil pressure, oil temp, boost and for brand: defi.

if you can have/want to have more then I would go EGT next, then water temp, then fuel pressure if you must.

oil temp, is very important so you know when your engine is up to temp, and also if it's getting too hot.

oil pressure is vital.

boost is very important too and great for tuning.

as the defi guages all have peak warning (or low warning for oil pres) you dont have to watch them all the time. plus they have logging so you can play back a couple of laps and see how the boost was coming on, how the oil pressure was (if it was stable under corning load?) etc etc.

very usefull.

and I practice what I preach, just bought a set of Defi BF, oil temp, oil pressure, boost and defi control unit II.
