Ive got a boost gauge in a 2 pod pillar mount in the bug. What other gauge would you guys suggest as the nest most beneficial for me to install and why?

 

Your car will already have a water temp gauge on the dash.
Oil temp is a good indicator for when you can boot it but common sense is also.
Oil pressure is good to have as if you loose pressure yo loose your engine.
A/F gauge saved my engine. I was not aware that my maf was failing and the resulting lean running that came with it.
HTH

 

Gotta be Oil pressure.

 

I've voted oil PRESSURE as the stock o/p switch is useless: by the time it lights up your engine has had it

But oil TEMPERATURE is nearly as useful.

MY engine was saved this summer by the boost and fuel pressure gauges working together, as they can on Defis, to show DIFFERENTIAL fuel pressure.

 

I've gone with a 2 pod with boost and volts as I plan to do a triple in the middle with oil pressure, oil temp and water temp

 

I`ve just got a set of 4 Defi`s which are Boost, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure and EGT, Still looking for an oil temp But i`d say OIL Pressure and Oil Temp are a must IMO

 

Oil temp, oil pressure and wideband lambda.

3 must haves if youre tuning the car IMO.

 

Cheers all, think just to fill a hole on my a pillar im going to go with the oil pressure. But for some reason i cannot find one that is in PSI. all the prosport ones are in Bar.

As my boos gauge is in PSI i want to keep them common to each other with regards to UOM.

 

Voltmeter is a cheapy waste of time, ditch it for fuel pressure

Got the boost and fuel presssure working together to show DIFFERENTIAL fuel pressure?
It's what saved mine this summer

 

As said above ditch the volts they can be useful for picking up charging or electrical issues but modern cars systems are pretty good these days so generaly a volt gauge is considered a waste of space, much better using the redundant hole for a oil pressure which will give you some warning all is not well with the motor, this should be followed by oil temp then air fuel ratio ( please note with the AFR gauge make sure you get a wide band one as the narrow ones are near useless) after that you could go for a water temp if you have the room but as you already have one as OE I wouldn't bother.

 

It was the narrowband Auotmeter afr which saved me a new engine

 

On a car with my performance level, running a walbro pump and standard injectors and FPR whats the point? If I had an AFPR then fair enough, but i'd prefer to know my alternator is working during the winter and can fit a fuel pressure gauge later in triple dash pod.

 

i;d dump boost in favour of oil temp and oil pressure

 

2nd that mate

 

I could never dump the boost gauge, i love mine

 

Oil pressure or AFR

 

does anyone know where i can get a Prosport oil pressure in green/white smoked, BUT in Psi not Bar reading???

 

try

http://www.lbperformance.com/

get the stepper series with peak light. In my opinion oil pressure and temp is most important

 

Cheers, they got one in Bar pressure reading but nothing in Psi

 

yeah it looks like it, can you get it in Bar? I thought these sold all of them. Try the american prosport site. If they haven't, it probably doesn't exist mate

 

I have seen them but shipping out of Hong Kong, the only other thing is to get a stepper boost gauge in Bar.....

Im only being fussy as i want all of the measurement types to be the same.
