Gauges for d turbo

[Frosty]

Got a few question on gauge. Im thinking about fitting some more gauges in my d turbo. I have already got a boost gauge. I have been thinking about what gauges are worth getting, I have been thinking of going for oil temp and pressure and EGT. Are these good choices to go for?

Also then I come on to the question which make gauges to go for? I don't want real cheap 1s or mega expensive 1s but at the end of the day I want them to do there job. From what I have read it is better to go for the more expensive 1s especially for a EGT gauge. I don't like to say a definite amount I want to spend but around £30 per gauge. Also as I would be fitting them where the stereo would usually be I would ideally what them to all be the same make so it looks a bit better/smarter.

I like the look of these gauges

Any help/input would be ideal cheers

Id have all them gauges I've never had a egt gauge if its coaling ole mad you have too much egt lol

I have oil pressure temp and boost always gone auto gauge not mega expensive but decent gauges seem to be accurate stay away from anything Digital imo

[Frosty]

Ok cheers

you want your egt guage to be the most expensive you can afford ideally, a nice quick reacting egt is a real nice addition.

ive gone a bit overkill on mine, i have:

Boost
Oil pressure
Oil temp
Water temp
Volts
internal pump pressure (useful for tuning)
EGT

I try to use racetech gauges, very accurate and not over the top expensive

What have you used for the 1s in the radio slot?

I brought 1 of the things off eBay but I'm not that impressed with the fit of it

erm m not sure where its from. its rickys old car and it was in there when i bought it. fits well though, nicely staggered so i can see all 3 gauges clearly

[Frosty]

This is the 1 I got but it just doesn't seem to fit securely as it doesn't clip in very well where the centre dash bolts up. I don't know if it will be better when the gauge are in it

that looks the same as mine, must be hit or miss with them as this one fits fine :/

I have modified mine a bit and it now fits better

I use stack mate, very good but pritty steep on price, think the boost gauge was £60odd

[Frosty]

I went for these in the end.

+1 for Autogauge on a budget, stack if you can afford it / know how to pull a brummy's leg.

quick hijack were do you run the oil temp/press from?

[Daniel306]

Normally from the oil plate

[Frosty]

Sandwich plate that's bolts between the oil cooler and oil filter. About £15/20 off eBay
