boost gauge installed

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the first time I heard that an EGT Gauge is worthless.

Just by curiosity, did some one tell you that, or that's what you think????
I understand that there not 100% accurate, but better safe than sorry.

When I'm at the track running 22psi of boost, and don't have an EGT gauge to tell me how hot the car is running, I would be worried.

I said "close to worthless".

I've come to that conclusion through personal experience as well as conversations with fellow DSM'ers.

When I'm at the track running 27psi of boost I don't have time to watch an EGT gauge eventually tell me approximately how hot the inside of the manifold might be.

does anyone have any other ideas on what gauge to install along with the boost and a/f gauge?

I like the suggestions so far and the pros and cons for the different gauges. Thanks for the help.
