Hey guys.

I have 6 spots for gauges, and since im no longer boosting i have an open spot where the boost gauge was. So, what other gauge should i get to fill that spot?

Heres what i have already:
Volts
Electric fuel pressure
Water temp
Oil pressure
air/fuel

Is an oil temp gauge actually useful? Or maybe an exhaust gas temp gauge? Anyone know if the autometer exhaust temp gauge works well? Atleast with the exhaust temp gauge i would know if i was running rich/lean to a point..

I figure when i get a c4 ill swap the air/fuel(useless) gauge to a transmission temp gauge, but this wont happen for some time.

Any input?
Thanks.

A vacuum gauge is nice to have.

tranny oil, engine oil, or rear end diff. oil temperature gauges would be good.

I think a tranny oil temperature gauge would be funny with you running a 418 to a stock T5 rated for 300 ft/lbs, an amount which youll probly double with your setup. Although maybe you woulnd't want to know what was goin on.

I wouldnt just start throwing gauges in there to have spots. You can leave them vacant till you know for sure. The A/F if a waste if you dont have a wideband. Vacuum IS a nice one to have, but a BOOST/VACUUM gauge is even nicer.
