Wouldn't mind oil temp though, but you can guess the temp from the pressure anyway.

I have decided fuel pressure gauge so I think all you need is boost, oil pressure and fuel pressure. I think they are the most important , it makes it easier to fault find and if one of those dont have normal read out something is wrong Edited 06/08/12 11:34 PM by P_BA_XR6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81313-what-gauges-does-everyone-use/page/22/#findComment-1275684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have boost and oil pressure in the BF FPV mount, using the Defi racer gauges as they are stand alone instead of the linked series.
