wondering what 3 gauges are the best
 
I'll have a triple gauge pillar cause thats all they make for my car so I was wondering what 3 guages would be the best to have. I know boost and A/F are two, but what should the other be. I was looking at Oil pressure, but I'm not sure what should be watched the most. Even if I don't really need anything I want to fill that empty hole

I would say oil pressure or water temp.Stock gauges suck are very inaccurate.

EGT or a fuel pressure gauge would be bitchn', but expensive. :-\

Oil pressure, boost, EGT.

A/F gauges suck.

Agreed A/F gauges do suck balls, but do give "some" idea of what state the fuel is in w/o an EGT gauge...

but the EGT gauge is the "Long term solution" for that problem...

I am going to run A/F (cause Im cheap) boost/ and Oil pres...so I can see and pinpoint the exact second I toast my piston rings! No really the Oil preasure is really a good gauge to have as it lets you know what kind of condition the engine's "lifeblood" is in...

A/F to have at least some idea of how you're running, boost (ofcourse! ::)), and either egt or oil pressure for sure ;)

I was reading that oem o2 sesnors are no good for messuring a/f under boost, only n/a conditions. So what's the point of a/f because when you blow the motor from being lean it probably won't be from being n/a.
