Advice for Gauge needed

Hi all

In the process of getting supercharged

I have the FEED gauge pod 3 space, and knightsport gauge 2 space.

The Gauges i have at the moment are
Wideband O2
Boost
EGT
Oil Temp

1 more space remaining.

What gauge would be most recommended?

Oil Pressure? Water Temp? Vacuum?

help appreciated

Regards
Jason

either oil pressure or water temp. your boost gauge should show vacuum.

lol....i would say go for water temp....gives you more feedback on what is going on with temps and the efficiency of your cooling system!

that is after i just purchased the oil pressure hahaha.

Oh wells, i purchased the oil adapter plate, so might aswell make full use out of it.

If in future i need water temp (tracking) i'll be getting a independent mount then

Until then, 800 on gauges already =/

since you have the adapter plate...you made right choice...can always get the water temp down the road.

tell me about it things add up quickly!

there are dual gauges out there. Maybe that might keep the number of gauges down but the info available complete?

get fuel pump....because you never know....it happens to me, but i can look at it from my AFR, but still it's good to use fuel pump, so you can findout what's wrong with your car if there is a fuel starvation....i have upgraded pump, and it happens to me...
