    so i am officially going with prosport gauges. which 3 do you guys think i need. right now its

    1. boost (duh :) )
    2. oil pressure
    3. debating between egt or oil temp. both are nice to have.

    AFAIK... oil pressure indirectly reads oil temp too, by that I mean the pressure drops as the temperature rises, so when the idle pressure gets down to 30 psi you know it's nice and warm. ;)

    Personally, I've got EGT for my 3rd one... Usually it sucks to drill into your header, but I got a pre-drilled aftermarket header. :) Oil pressure is fun to install too, you have to take off the intercooler and get your hand in a tight spot.

    Good luck.

    Lucky...... I drilled my manifold and then used a pipe-tap that took me about an hour in itself to thread properly. Spoiled people with their aftermarket manifolds huh. j/k:)

    actually if he's going to install oil pressure AND oil temperature, then a sandwich adapter on the oil filter galley is needed.

    I say get a wideband instead of oil temperature.

    Thats exactly what it is. I've got boost, egt, and oil pressure in my car, although the latter 2 are not hooked up yet.
