well what do you want to monitor? most have a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge. i personally have boost, oil pressure, water temp, voltage and afr.

Boost gauge is a given, oil pressure gauge is quite popular as well as a voltmeter.

It depends as said what you want to monitor, personally I find boost gauge and voltmeter is suffice, water temp is a good idea if wanting accurate information, also a AFR would be useful.

I'd also go for an oil temperature gauge.

i have boost oil pressure and afr i think there the most important! also have an oil temp one i fitted to see if i needed an oil cooler

As per above Boost and Oil Pressure are the ones i would always start with

ive got boost, oil temp and oil pressure waiting to go in mine.

Might even order the ACT gauge that rainbird sells as they are relatively cheap and small too.

Will eventually get voltmeter, water temp, and AFR

yeah i know. Dont need the center vents, the clock is shit as is the door open display thingy so going to replace them all with gauges.

oh yeah, also need to keep space for fans override switch, flamer switch and anti-lag switch

Personally I think fuel pressure is always a good one, but everyone seems to forget it!! And then wonder why their 20-year old fuel pump and crusty fuel pump wiring causes the engine to melt! lol!

Boost and oil pressure are a given as said, but personally I'd suggest fuel pressure over volt meter any day!!

ajamesc

yeah but an afr gauge can show a fuel pump / pump voltage problem!

I've got boost pressure , oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, voltmeter & air temp at the throttle body.

Boost, oil pressure, and AFR is all you really need. And some kind of engine monitor if you want to be really flash. You don't need a fuel pressure guage in the car, unless you want the inside of your dash to catch fire when it starts to leak. The AFR guage will tell you about impending fuel related doom anyway.

Cheers guys, was thinking of boost, oil pressure and water temp. Forgot about afr. Do the gauges come with sensors or do you have to buy all components separately?
