Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well I know nothing about auto gauges and would like some help.

For my 1ggze engine I am going to need a new tacho and it was recommended that I get a boost, temp and oil pressure gauge so I can monitor the engine.

Now do I need all 4?
Or is the tacho good enough?
What prices am I looking at?
Are all gauges the same?
What makes a bad gauge?

I am after just something simple, not for looks, just want what I need to be practical.

So gauge people, tell me what you know.

Cheers

You definatly will want all the guages listed.
But oil pressure is good to have but not really that essential if you have an oil pressure warning light.
Boost is fun to watch but not necesarily essential after you have set up the boost.

I agree, I like the oil pressure gauge because it can give you an idea of what is normal pressure and then it can help you identify problems quickly - like OMG my oil pressure is half what is normally is - I had better check it out.

Boost gauge is good - fun to watch but again can help you drive more economically just be careful it doesn't cause you to have an accident
