Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 07/08/07 08:30 AM Share Posted 07/08/07 08:30 AM Tripod is the way to go.Oil pressure is good as if something goes wrong with the pump (let's face it, it's not uncommon) it could save you alot of $$$.Boost is also nice as it's quite active.The gauge I find really interesting and has resulted in changing my driving style is oil temp. I never drive my car hard when cold, or so I thought! I always let the water temp get to operating level before sinking in the right foot. Since I've fitted the oil temp gauge I've noticed the oil takes alot longer to come up to temp. I drive 15 minutes, about 20kms to work every day and 15 km's of that is at 100km/h. In the time it takes me to drive to work the oil temp has only gotten to 62 degrees. Normal temp seems to be between 80-90 degrees.

I was about to purchase the full sweep mechancial autometer cobalt boost guage and full sweep electrical oil pressure, but how do u hook the oil presseure "sender" up? Cant seem to find on the forums where this was done.But yes Herbie, boost and oil pressure I reckon too.
