From what I have researched, it looks like the most important gauges to have for a S/C set up are AFR wideband (some say EGT, but I find AFR easier to read), Boost, and Oil Temp; however, I'm a little confused on oil pressure vs oil temp.

Between oil temp and oil pressure, which would be the better choice (based on ease of installation and effective troubleshooting). I'm thinking of grabbing some Defi gauges, but wow they're expensive. I'm also a little worried that installation instructions will only be in Japanese. Any other recommendations for reliable gauges (I've looked at AEM as well since they offer a AFR wideband). Thanks for the help all.

 

The installation instructions for Defi gauges are in English as well so no need to worry about that.

 

Wideband and oiltemp gauges are most important, that's what I use.

 

Did any of you have any recommendations on brands? I've seen Autometer, AEM, and Defi on here. Any issues with autometer (since they're the cheapest of the three)? Thanks.

 

Dont get Blitz

 

I Have the AutoMeter Cobalt AFR Gauge, has worked well, I also used the AutoMter $55.00 Boost Gauge. I will be adding AEM Oil Temp/pressure.

 

go defi

 

I suggest whichever gauges you end up with make sure they have a memory function so you can go back and look at the peaks. You won't have time to look at them when you are driving.



I monitor boost and egt.

 

Wow Mark......I never knew! LOL.

 

Yeah, I use my peak on the AEM tru boost all the time.

Wow, that is all I have to say Mark. You need a passenger with you all the time to read all of those!
