What gauges do you have?
Im just curious as to what gauges everyone uses in the car, obviously most have the boost and a/f. Anything else you recomend?
Actually, most people don't have an A/F ratio gauge. They are pretty pointless unless you are using a wideband O2.
As far as recommended gauges, it really depends on what you are doing with your car. If you only drive your car on the street you should have the following:
1. Boost/Vacuum gauge
2. Aftermarket Water Temp or linearize the stock temp gauge
That's all you really need for normal driving. If do open track racing/driving or other driving events, you might benefit from a few other gauges. However, it all depends on what you do.

1) the power FC lights up in green. this is the most important reason. color coordination is UNDERRATED.
2) its hard to read when you have 4 choices on the power fc.
3) is there really a good place to mount that bitch? NOPE.
4) some of us like to see PSI instead of BAR and F'en height instead of celsius (Just a rule I have, sorry if I forgot to mention it).
5) dont gauges just look cooler?

just got the HKS CAMP setup. it has Boost, EGT, oil temp, air temp, oil pressure, and i think that's it.
Now i have to install the thing! Wish me luck.
Everyone is correct though. Get a BOOST and WATER TEMP, gauge!
will

BTW, Water & PFC don't ever show the same readings...
