Pretty much as the title says... I am just curious how many of you use an oil pressure gauge. I'm thinking it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on this when running a turbo, but I don't see too many people with oil pressure gauges. Along those lines, anyone recommend any particular gauge? Thanks.

 

Yes. it's the third most imporntant gauge in any modified car. First being a widebad O2 sensor then boost then oil pressure.

 

I agree. Oil pressure is definately a good idea.

 

I'd put it as second most important just because not everyone can afford a WBO2 for there HMT kit Boost and oil pressure and don't be stupid and run a mechanical guage into your car get a auti meter electrical well worth the $50 or $60 I think they cost

 

I personally consider the oil pressure gauge the single most important guage to have, just for the fact that oil is the life-blood of your engine, and without oil pressure you'll have nothing but a big boat anchor.

 

You can pick up a nice short sweep oil pressure guage from autometer for right around 70. I will be ordering most of my gauges form this site:

We put 2 on our cars.

1 monitering the engine itselt in the cabin.
2 to set the oil pressure to the turbo under the hood.

 

Thats a good idea rather than me running back and forth from the drivers seat to under the hoo checking and adjusting it :P

 

get two people......less running back and forth
