Lightbulb Question for the local tuners.

3 guages on a turbo Subaru......which ones for a performanc street car?


Im thinking Boost, EGT and Oil temp.....or Oil Pressure? Oil temp would be nice for knowing when the car is warm and oil pressure would let you know when **** hit the fan.


Or are other gauges more important? Fuel pressure, A/F.....? Please give your input! Im sure others would be curious also.

Boost and EGT are the most important. I personally prefer oil temp in a car with a stock block. By the time you see oil pressure drop you're most likely screwed anyway. Oil temp is good to have to know when the car is fully warmed up and/or if oil temp is rising under extreme conditions.
