what gauges??
 
ive got a 1997 2000 awd, just wondering what gauges to get other than the boost gauge that would be helpful and not just there to look good, any help would be apriciated

Oil temp and oil pressure are the main ones I have went for.

Oil Temperature for Sure, and Probably Oil Pressure.

Lets you keep and eye on things so you know when its actually warmed up and if there are any changes in pressure that would need looking into.

thanks, ive seen people go for voltage gauges etc but i think these are just pointless, are the oil temp/pressure gauges easy to fit or do they need fitting profesionally?

Easy(ish) but just make sure the sensors are working before you fit them. There is a good guide on here that I followed and had no issues.

im not very good with things like that lol so i think ill get a professional to fit them lol, last thing i want to do is to mess up and it cost me more to fix my mistakes than just to get someone to do it in the first place lol

Oil pressure and temperature, as noted.

I've also got a PROPER water temperature gauge and a fuel pressure which allows me to see the difference between fuel pressure and boost...........if the difference falls, it could run lean:(
