3 Turbo Gauges, what should 3rd one be?
I am currently getting ready for a ZPI Stage zero turbo, and trying to figure out what my third gauge should be. Currently planning boost, and Aem widband gauges and was thinking of a oil pressure gauge as the last one. I'm planning to get the manifold jet hot coated so I dont think I will need to worry about tempatures but I could be wrong. Responses with more than just a gauge would be helpful. Like why that particular gauge.

the best 3 would be a boost (PSI) guage, an A/F ratio gauge, and and Oil Pressure gauge. With a turbo, it is best to know at all times the PSI to help if you have a vacuum leak and so that you're not running too high of boost, You MUST keep check on the oil temp and pressure, and you need to keep an eye on the A/F ratio to know if you're running rich or lean

Thanks a ton, I kind of figured that would be the case. So if I had room for a 4th oil temp gauge looks like it will be next. And I did do a search and everyone was saying the same thing boost gauge and wideband A/f gauge. A lot of people had a different third gauge.

i'd like to add that the scanguage II is a great item to have in general, and will provide all of these readings:
* Fuel Economy
* Fuel Rate
* Battery Voltage
* Coolant Temperature
* Intake Air Temperature
* Engine Speed (RPM)
* Vehicle speed (MPH)
* Manifold Pressure (not available on some vehicles)
* Engine Load
* Throttle Position
* Ignition Timing
* Open/Closed Loop

Oil pressure or oil temp would be good.
Be aware about Jet-Hot though. I have a Dezod kit and Jet-Hot is holding me up. They have had my manifold now for OVER a week for a coating process that is said to only take 2-3 days

Well i said jet hot but I'm always concerned with the shipping problem so I will be going to a local company. They'll do my manifold in a 2000 degree satin black. All other pipes will be Satin black or possibly powder coated in a nice maroon to go with my BCP. Should look hot when all is done.
