Default gauges for n/a setups

Ok, i know the gauges used for our cars has been covered somewhat before but im just wondering what gauges can be used that are actually useful for an N/a setup.

I know that there are A/f ratio,oil pressure, water pressure, oil temp, water temp. Any of these needed or helpful for a n/a setup? What do you guys recommend?

All of them......

the Air/Fuel= could help you to know if something wrong with your OEM O2 sensor.

the others gauge will help too.... I think that you know about there utility....

The only gauge that you dont need in N/A setup is the Boost gauge... LoL

Get gauges that monitor what you want to know. Fuel pressure N/A is no biggie as it stays the same, if you have a system you might wanna check out a Voltmeter, A/F is a good one a. cause it looks cool, b. cause it gives you a nice idea of what's going on in your engine. Temperature gauges are good, so are other pressure gauges.

They are not too difficult. If you do an oil pressure, make sure you use the right fitting. I will be selling my Faze gauges sometime soon, I have Oil Pressure, Voltmeter, and A/f. I bought the Splitfire gauges in the GB and will be buying the AEM wideband soon. hijacked.gif

is a voltmeter gauge only good if you have a system or many electronics in your car?

Voltmeter is nice to keep an eye on your battery and such. If I had to pick three (three is the most gauges I like to see in any car tongue.gif) I would pick EGT, Air/Fuel, and voltage... EGT and Air/Fuel kind of do the same thing, but ahh well. tongue.gif

Wouldn't you rather have an oil pressure guage than a voltmeter?I think a voltmeter is pretty useless unless you have a huge stereo or a cinepark fanatic.

i have oil temp,oil pressure,and A/f in my car, i think those are the best, dont really need volt unless you have a huge system.
