Water Temp, Oil Temp, Egt Temp, Boost, and Fuel Pressure. You may not need the oil temp, but its a good one to have.

I agree with the others when you invest a lot of money in your car/motor whatever. its nice to have accurate gauges letting you know whats going on.

now where to put them all is another thing. someday I want to mount defi's in the dash were the stock gauges are. as for now I just got a new gauge mount that works very well.




i think the person who made them is on the forum under the nick flyrx7

his site is here.
