    1. boost (duh :) )

    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.

    hmmm never really thought much about wideband... that would be a lot of fun to have. its like an air fuel gauge that actually means something!!!

    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.

    I'm selling my stock cluster with boost, oil temp and voltage so I can put a clock back in my car.

    i was reading on the prosport website and they said that there coming out with a wideband soon. maybe for now i will just go with boost and oil pressure then have a hole for a while until that come out with the wideband...
