Necessary Gauges

Hi Guys!

Here is the deal, I am an RX-7 'Newbie' and I'm in the process of making reliability modifications... But I ran into a slight conundrum.

I'm getting a triple A-pillar gauge mount and I'm planning on installing a water-temp gauge as well as a turbo gauge. I'm unsure what I should get for the third slot. Currently, the car has no mods but I am planning on getting a down-pipe and a cat-back system within the next few months.

Any suggestions?

Those are the only nessecary gauges, however I'd suggest getting either an EGT gauge or an oil temp gauge for the third slot. Both are equally as important as a water temp gauge. Remember, oil cools the rotating assembly, not water.

I would only buy the oil temp if you plan to track the car. For a street driven car, boost and water temp handle the most important needs.
