I bought a triple gauge pillar pod.. I'm going to install boost and egt in the pod. I have already installed oil temp, water temp and oil press in the stereo surround.. what other gauge should i install in the pillar pod? Also anyone running the colbalt gauages? What you think of them? Thanks.. Running a TII eng..

Intake temp,without a doubt.
Like almost all the other gauges I have,I rarely look at it anymore,but knowing your intake temp can save your engine by telling you how well your intercooler is working and how effecient the turbo is.
Back in the days of stock turbos and stock IC's,I could barely get one pass out of my car without seeing 175*+ intake temps at the throttle body.I knew I had to let the engine cool and ice down the IC before making my next run.Probably contributed to my junkyard engine lasting as long as it did.
After the turbo upgrade and my front mount Spearco,I never see intake temps above 120* or so.Thus, I dont watch the gauge that often,but without it I wouldnt have known not to worry,so it was worth the investment.
