RE: Which gauges
yeah, but i wouldn't trust the stock gauges if you have any sort of engine work done. they are not very accurate.

RE: Which gauges
Just like what vfast said, a/f is a waste. I have it on mine and wish I would have never gotten it. It I was you, I would go with oil press and water temp.

RE: Which gauges
because its a bunch of blinking lights indicating when the o2 sensors are switching from rich to lean. it doesn't actually show the a/f ratio.
