If you could only install two gauges on a 1st gen (intercooled), which two would you choose? Not counting a tach. Stock motor.

 

would a low pressure warning light for fuel pressure count as a gauge? I'm going to say it doesn't and go with that trans temp and pyro.

 

#1- Pyro
#2- Boost
#3-Trans
#4 Fuel pressure..might want to bump this up depending on what mods you are doing..

This is just the way I would do it, or doing it..lol

 

Transmission Temp and Water Temp

 

1-Pyro if you plan to add more fuel
2- Trans temp if you have an auto
3-fuel pressure
Boost is interesting but in my opinion not necessary unless you have a lot of fuel and turbo and are getting to the point you need to know your boost to save your head gasket.

 

pyro and fuel press.

 

i agree with his list

 

Play truck: Pyro and boost
Working truck/stick: Pyro and boost
Working truck/auto: Pyro and trans temp

 

Fuel level and a clock, the only two gauges necessary in any vehicle. Even more important than a tach or speedometer. As long as you have fuel you can be sure to get there on time.

 

I'll say pyro and oil pressure. Those are the two that'll save you the most money from hidden condtions before it's too late. Don't trust the stock oil pressure gauge.

 

I stand corrected.

 

Not looking for brownie points,,, but wanna is right.

 

......or to tell how much boost it took to blow your head gasket!
