yeah Stan its all about the the cool lights jumping up and down :P i dont think thats true about the oem o2 sensors cuz i know plenty of people here and elsewhere that have turbos with the a/f ratio gauge and it works fine. it may not me the most accurate reading in the world but they do work to give you a good idea of how you're running

My picks for your first 3 guages: EGT, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp. I'd say boost, but I datalog with my laptop or palmpilot so I don't need one :)


I trust what the EGT was telling me waaaaaaaaaaaaay before one of those bullshit lightshow A:F guages. Just because you're rich doesnt mean EGT temps arent approacing meltdown temps... a lot other ---- can go wrong.

At the very LEAST you should modify the A:F guage to be more precise @ WOT... if you search google hard enough you can find out how.

IMO, Save your money and build a Techedge or get one of the PLX Devices widebands

best 150-400 (depending which you get) you will EVER spend o your car.
