I need to buy another gauge to fill my triple pillar pod. I already have a A/F & Boost gauge (both Autometer). I was deciding between a Fuel pressure or Pyrometer gauge. Any info welcomed. Thanks.

Since the stock guage is pretty useless, how about a water or oil temp?

Water temp if you don't have something better than the stock gauge.

yeah water temp would be best

thats what i have on the triple, a/f, boost, water

all autometer but all 3 will be replaced over the winter with defi, and my a/f is going out in replace for a wideband..

Thanks for replying. I think I'll still buy an EGT gauge for my tuning purposes. What type of oil pressure & water temperature gauge should I buy: electric or mechanical? I may be installing in the stock locations.

DEFINITELY get a water temp gauge - I'd get that way before an EGT. The stock water temp gauge is so center-weighted, you'll never know if you're slowly cooking your motor.

For any fluid gauge (water temp, oil pressure or temp) ALWAYS get an electronic gauge. Running fluids into the engine compartment is a Bad Thing, especially if you use Autometer's crappy nylon lines and brass ferrules.

Might also use this opportunity to upgrade to a better quality gauge. A Greddy water temp gauge will run you $100 - helluva good deal.

OK, I think I'll get the electric water temperature and oil pressure gauges. Is the 100 psi oil gauge the one to go for? That's all Autometer offers in electric gauges. What is the stock gauge read to? My FD is the Canadian model with metric gauges, not sure what it works out to in psi. Thanks.
p.s. I've rarely heard/seen the engine fan turn on (with Koyo rad installed), and never turn on since I put in Royal Purple Ice (water wetter)...
