I'm going to fit a couple of gauges to the car. One's going to be boost, the other either Oil Pressure or Temperature. I can't make up my mind what's of more value, oil pressue or temp - I guess in the long run, they're both similar. What do other people use, prefer?

Dave.

the autometer phantom range do a gauge with pressure and temp all in one.
i think the pressure is at the top with temp at the bottom, or vis-a -versa.

give scoobymania a ring, there number is on there website.

www.scoobymania.com

they stock the phantom range of gauges and will even fit them at a small charge.

personally, i went for pressure, temp and boost

Combined oil temp./pressure gauges are quite common. Would`nt be without mine now.

Depends how often you check/change your oil. I find the oil pressure gauge to be of more use, especially when racing because of the forces on your car cause the oil to move to one side of the motor. So I can monitor this to see if something needs to be done before it gets too low.
