what gauges?

[gazjones]

right today ive fitted a boost gauge by auto gauge works well and looks good but i am after two more gauges and will be getting a tripple din gauge holder that is angled towards the driver just wanting thoughts on what other gaugest would be good, its for an fr 20vt. thanx for any suggestions gaz

 

[LeeroyBrown]

autometer ones are great for readings

 

[mhill]

Oil presure & temperature are verry handy other than that what about a voltage?

 

[gazjones]

thanks think im going to go with oil temp and pressure

I had an oil temperature and voltage gauge as standard in my old Ibiza.

 

[gazjones]

yea going oil temp to help with the cooling down of turbo and warming up

 

[mhill]

Only thing with oil temp and presure is getting the info to display on the gauge! dont realy want hot oil under presure going near the cabin!
(am i just being thick?)

 

[gazjones]

dad has one in his clasic car its a thermal sensor like a water temp sensor dont run a pipe as such with them

 

[mhill]

Is it the same with presure as well then?

 

[gazjones]

the pressur one runs a very small pipe only about 1 mill thick so not much oil at all goes through it workes on my dads classic car with on prob they are fastend in place with locking type nut the screw into gauge and clamp on the pipe os wont pop off

[hon_n_gem]

On a turbo petrol I'd run

Boost
Air/Fuel
Oil Presure

Probably costing £170-250

on a TDI

Boost
EGT
Oil Presure

Probably costing £350+ (EGT guages are hugly expensive)
