I am planning on getting gagues for my FDs, and I am wondering what gagues should I get?!

my car is currently stock, but I will be modding it later on, and I want to get all the gagues I need once.

thanks in advance.

Water Temp, Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure. The other's are nice to have. Also, I'd invest in a wideband o2.

Yeah what Jspec said..



PFC---helps elminate one of those though too, unless you dont trust the stock sensor..

Yeah, I use the PFC to monitor the water temps too Just in case. HOWEVER, it's always nice to see an alarm when something goes wrong. If the PFC Commander flashed when you hit a warning, then I would say ditch the water temp gauge....

I'm only lightly modified (intake, ic, dp, cb), and I get on just fine with only a boost gauge. I linearized my temp gauge. I wanted to keep the dash looking as stock as possible.

Is it even worth getting an EGT gauge??

get SPA gauges. They are nice. Give 2 readings for one pod.

air/fuel? I'd think thats a must if you plan on tuning your car.

You know, I have an EGT and I really never look at it...Possibly cuz I don't know what I should be looking at...I hear normal readings are between 1300°F & 1500°F I just set my max warning to 1500 and never look at it again.



As far as what gauges you NEED, I would say Water Temp first, then Boost right after.



Then after that EGT.
