Default Which Gauge

Hey all-
I am about to boost(turbo) my mustang, so I will be adding some Autometer gauges. Right now I am thinking about getting A/F Ratio, Boost, and Trans Temp. However, I have one pod left and was wondering which gauge would prove the most beneficial.

Thanks for your help.

go with the fuel, i have just the boost gauge and fuel gauge, i feel its rather important to know if your getting the proper amount of fuel, that way at least if it acts up at all you will at least have an idea if not gettin any fuel.

You can get a nice electronic sender fuel pressure guage new for about $100 if you look. Don't really need a exhaust temp even though turbos are exhaust controoled. They are really only controlled by pressure and not heat! Don't croud your dash with 100 idiodic guages that you don't need or arenn't necessary. I would def get a boost guage! I think they have boost as well as A/F just on diff. dialers but the same guage

Fuel pressure ftw. Like the person above said most problems start with the lack of fuel.

Definately appreciate the input so far...sounds like Fuel Pressure FTW

The only thing is how necessary is it with an A/F Gauge...would you guys still say its the best choice?

if i went f/i i would get boost and fuel pressure, if you want a third one go with a wideband or oil pressure.

Widebands I have found, are very expensive. Which one is the most affordable/ reliable?
