Wouldn't mind oil temp though, but you can guess the temp from the pressure anyway. Edited 06/08/12 11:01 PM by MX Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided fuel pressure gauge so I think all you need is boost, oil pressure and fuel pressure. I think they are the most important , it makes it easier to fault find and if one of those dont have normal read out something is wrong Edited 06/08/12 11:34 PM by P_BA_XR6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have boost and oil pressure in the BF FPV mount, using the Defi racer gauges as they are stand alone instead of the linked series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
