Yea u guys are right.... why monitor your car? I mean if it starts to act up tow it somewhere and pay someone to tell you what's wrong?


For a non boosted car I would say not that important.

I have a boost and an LC-1 wideband. My wideband sensor seems to have taken a dump and if they are expensive I will just switch to an Aeroforce gauge.

IMO it's cheaper to buy a boost gauge and find out the wastegate is stuck from it that blowing the motor. same with a wideband for a bad tune. i also think that oil pressure and temp gauges are important because the factory ones are total BS, most of the time they dont do anything unless you have no oil.

I run a bottle pressure and fuel pressure for my nitrous set-up. I really like the bottle pressure gauge because I dont have to pop the trunk to read my bottle pressure, and I can monitor it going down the track to check for sudden pressure drop. Also, I can monitor bottle pressure while the heater is on, so the bottle doesn't over expand.

I'd sure like to have a fuel pressure and temp gauge.
