boost is a must, i recommend a wideband if you pushing the limits of your fuel system.

Egt gauge is popular also.. also run good quality O2 sensors. most widebands use a newer style bosch
wideband uses far better electronics and is far more sensitive than a narrow band item. thus they respond faster to changes in air/fuel therefore very accurate. if you run 16+ (3bar+) psi this is a def needed item. Last edited by PureEnergi; November 3rd, 2010 at 05:54 PM. |

Definitely run a wideband air fuel. You will want to know where your air/fuel ratio is for sure. Unless of course you're looking for a reason to do an engine rebuild.
 I have a Vortech V3 only running 5# and have a wideband, fuel pressure, and vac/boost gauge. I'm happy with them. Just my 2 cents.

Those are the only two you really need, i did a write up on a boost gauge install if you dont know how to, and if you have any questions about the wideband shoot me a pm. the only other gauge i may think about is a oil pressure gauge.
