Gauges, more the merrier?
I'm thinking about having some more gauges, I already have boost, oil temp and pressure and i'm umming and areing about what else to get, I'm pretty much sold on two of the three being AFR and Water temp.
So question is what's the third one going to be and why, has to be three because they will go in a dash top pod on my newage, the other three are in a modified v3 pod to the right and above the main instrument panel which I really like because it's easy to see, so won't be changing to a pillar jobbie because I don't like gauges on the pillar.

Are they Defis, or similar? My Defi fp gauge is linked to the boost gauge to give DIFFERENTIAL pressure. ie: the difference in pressure between the two, which should remain the same under all conditions.
I have that set, and the warning on the fp gauge set so it goes off if the fp falls more than 0.3 bar more than the 3.3 bar it should be above boost.
That's what saved the engine.

Oil temp, oil pressure, boost, Fuel pressure and AFR here, AFR gauge came in handy in conjunction with the fuel pressure when my fuel pump was starting to fail, I noticed on WOT in boost my AFR's had gone up to nearly bang on 12 from low 11's, As alcazar says when it's used with the boost in differential mode you can see the pressure drop, I think it was around .7 bar which is enough to cause the car to lean out.
I know people say defis are expensive but compared to an engine they are a bargain.

I can see why your struggling but knowing what we both know I think you should wait a bit more, none of those are in the "un molested minter" category unless you do a colour change on the first one
It's a tricky one mate, I hate these cars, I know how crack ****** feel since I got involved with Imprezas, I'm going to find a Escort MK1 shell and do that up.

I don't want to go aftermarket ecu with this car as it's not getting modded, I'm not a mods type person, everything I do to my cars is out of necessity or mild upgrades based on cost v's quality as opposed to modifications so to speak, and aftermarket ecu's are too bloody expensive, not even sure i'd know how to operate digital dash and toucan so good old fashioned dials that flash and bleep so I don't need to press anything or get involved with fancy programming etc, I'm an old dog and don't like new tricks.
