Gauges

When going BPU, do you really need to have oil, water gauges?? Im gong to relloate my boost gauge to where my clock used to be.

So just wondering if you need the others really??

i would go for oil pressure for defo water temp is nice as well

if you are after a white faced set i will have some for sale in the next couple off days

Boost and AFR are the only ones I wouldn't like to be without.

There will be a few differences of opinion over what is the best set of gauges to have.

Remember that the Supra already has oil pressure/temp/water sensors in place with warning icons on the dash, so you want to cover what the supra doesn't have.

Therefore you should consider.

Boost.

AFR Wideband

EGT

These 3 will give you an idea of what's happening an give you a pointer towards any impending doom. You could also call them worry gauges, because all you'll do is look and them and worry!

whats EGT??

whats EGT??

exhaust gas temp

At BPU levels I'd recommend either:

1. Boost gauge and EGT gauge (exhaust gas temp)

or

2. Boost gauge and AFR gauge (air/fuel ratio)

The first combination is the cheaper and the EGT gauge will give you an idea if things are not safe if the temps get too high. If you can afford it though the AFR gauge is a better option, as it will give you a much more accurate picture of things.

Geo if you are looking for gauges and want any prices, give me a shout and I'll sort you out a good deal.
