I was looking for a triple gauge holder too and they seen to have sold out, (They are still listed on eBay) But all have pictures saying sold out, I would go with Boost, Air / Fuel, and maybe oil temp. No point getting oil pressure as car has one factory.

 

Oil pressure is the most important qauge to have.

 

Best gauges have low limit, high limit , both audible and visual warnings and peak recall. Gee, maybe that's why they cost $285 each.

 

Most Gauges are useless if you arent looking at them when sh*t goes wrong

What a lot of us (racers) do with gauges is mount them so operating temperature/pressure is upright so at quick glance we know exactly if it's good/bad.

As Arron said, unless you're looking at them when sh*t goes bang, there's not much point ... So a gauge with a peak hold setting etc - a form of (soft) datalogging (where the data is reset every time the cars power is turned off)

Wouldn't the OEM sensor be up to the job? Or best to replace with something decent?
