Boost, 0-35 psi (Boost Only)
The Ultimate Pro-Comp Gauges for Professional Racing
Liquid-filled gauges are designed for racing applications having exreme vibration or violent pounding.The bourdon tube gauge mechanism is encased in dampening fluid. This protection not only provides steadiness to the pointer but also adds longer life to the instrument. Gauges fit into 2-5/8''' dia. hole and includes 12V lighting, 1/8'' & 1/4'' NPT fittings, 6-foot nylon tubing and mounting hardware. A Blower Memory Kit can be added to this gauge using P/N 105-3230 (records peak boost level).

Get the memory kit now or later it is sweet.

Its spendier than the boost gauge even with the memory kit. Mechanical gauges are cheaper but you'd need an isolator kit to mount them in cabin so get the electical.

EGT

Can be had w or w/o the probe... So you can pick your probe.

I might hold out on the EGT myself even though I have a probe installed already. The WB o2 I get may datalog EGT...

Go oil pressure..

Use the little 1-1/2"ers for oil pressure..

VDO has baby gauges like that too.

I'll probably just have a boost gauge and fuel pressure in a bezel pod. Other wise just 1/2" mini's 2 oil pressure, 1 colant temp and 1 oil temp.

Fuel pressure is important for tuning. Even if no FC is present the 1-1 regulator increases fuel pressure with boost. So if you spool and hit 25psi but fuel pressure is only at 15 psi above the base fuel pressure you have a problem.....
