Oil press, oil temp and what extra gauge - already have Psi3!
Right, it's looking just too hard to work out how to connect some more sensors to my PSI3 so I'm planning to get some gauges instead (in contrast loads of good info on Scoobynet for this) for Oil Pressure and Oil Temp (car is used and abused on the track!)
However, I don't like the pillar pod look (seen many examples on scoobynet) but do like the centre 3 gauge pods that you can get. However, if I have oil temp and oil pressure that leaves one spare hole. I have a PSI3 ECU monitor so already get boost pressure, water temp, Lambda values, air intake temp (not charge temp) and battery voltage.
What could I use for the third hole - charge temp (assuming I can get a 52mm gauge for it)? Exhaust Gas (seems a little overkill for a lightly modded 2003 WRX)? Something else?
Of course the alternative is to find another way of mounting just two gauges in the centre - Scoobyparts do something (seen others on Ebay) but I do like the look of the 3 centre gauges.

a clock: DURITE 12/24v DIGITAL QUARTZ CLOCK 52mm LCD 0-523-04 on eBay (end time 08-Jan-10 11:25:31 GMT)
well you will be losing yours depending on which centre pod you get. I know the PSI3 also does the time too, but it fills a gap.

1st - boost (already have)
2nd - oil pressure
3rd - oil temp
These are the 3 'prioritory' gauges that may help save an engine (if you trust them and have the discipline to act quickly, should there be any anomolies).

yeah true - think some Skylines have them built in to the centre console display. More for the passenger really - if the gauge is reading high enough to be interesting, the driver probably shouldn't be watching it at the same time

The final thing affecting my choice is that there are a few good guides for prosport installation on scoobynet and enough people using them that I should be able to post and get solutions on scoobynet.
I like the idea of a g meter but as is said, if I am looking at that when going round a corner I'll probably spin off! Might drop Harvey a line about his charge temp monitor and see if he can think of a way to hook it up to a 52mm temp gauge.

+1 for the charge temp gauge though, out of all its probably the most useful that isn't already on the OP's car
