I just got myself a new A-Pillar Gauge Pod.

I've been waiting for my warranty to run out before I start doing any serious mechanical mods to my WRX but I have a feeling I'm going to be investing a lot of time and money under the hood in the not so distant future. I'd like to have some more gauges to help me keep an eye on things when that happens. My WRX has been a learning process from day one and I could really do with some help making this decision.

So, I've now got space for 3 new Gauges and I have my eye on the Omori WRX OEM look gauges. And since I already have a Turbo Gauge there's 4 left for me to choose from:

Electrical EGT
Electrical Oil Pressure
Electrical Oil Temp
Electrical Intake Manifold Temp

Which 3 should I get?

Thanks in advance,
Huck

I would suggest the oil pressure gauge as the stock sensor is not adequate. The other gauge is your pick.

definately EGT

oil temp is useful to see when your engine is warm enough to start wromping on it.

oil pressure b/c if you start loosing pressure, good bye turbo.

intake temp if you are going to be using a TMIC, particularly if you do water spray.

I'd came to the same conclusion about the EGT. So EGT, Oil Pressure, and Intake Temp seem to be the final three. Thanks!
