can i get some help deciding what guages to buy....

[03DarkShadow]

My dilema is that i am try to decide what gauges to get to go along w/ my boost and water temp gauges. I am definately getting a fuel pressure gauge but im undecided on the other(s).
Should i get 2 EGT gauges (one for each bank) or Install the wideband 02 w/ readout i have and just get an oil pressure gauge? Or is there aonther gauge any of you would recommend besides those? Thanks

Just be sure to get the Lunar guages!!

I also bought an oil temp gauge (was just kinda curious) and an oil pressure gauge. The factory oil pressure gauge is no better than an idiot light, It will point at 12 o'clock if the oil pressure is anything over like 6 psi, and won't move, so it's pretty much useless. My autometer shows about 85-90 psi on a cold start, then 20-25 warmed up at idle, and about 70 psi cruising at about 2000 RPM. The boost is a given, fuel pressure is nice, I wouldn't mind having a water temp gauge, but have no place to put it. Since the factory water temp gauge does actually move proportionately to temp, I figured it was somewhat better than the factory oil pressure, which is either at zero, or straight up.

I do have the Lunars. hehehe

BBriBro, Did the oil pressure gauge come w/ the correct adapter fitting to install it? Where did you install the sender for the gauge?
Your setup is awesome BTW.

CLICK HERE for pics of the install. The factory threads at the oil filter housing are 1/4 NPT, the autometer sender was 1/8 NPT, so it required a 1/8-1/4 adapter, available at any local auto parts store. (maybe not autozone, but NAPA or KOI, or similar)
