can anybody help whats the best way to keep an eye on whats going on with my engine straight forward gauges (if so whats best) or some of these new electronic monitors (yet again which are best) its a 2wd sapph and soon getting alot more power so dont want it to go bang

 

Boost gauge
Oil pressure and temperature gauge
SECS monitor.

No real reason to have anything else IMO although, AFR and EGT are worthy additions if ya wanna go all the way

 

sorry to sound a bit thick stu but what does AFR stand for, thats a new one to me bit of a novice with all the technical jargon

how much also will all this stuff cost and is it easy to install or does it need to be
done by a pro bearing in my i am not the most technical person under the bonnet
cheers stu

 

AIR FUEL RATIO

Boost guage is easy to fit, oil tempreature is the one that causes problems you need to either get the sump taken off and drilled or get a special sump plug from nomad which takes the teperature sensor in the middle, oil pressure is T'd off from the original oil pressure switch location
