Which Gauges to Fit ?
Discussion
Hello folks
Have a 2x ColumnPod, into which I was planning on putting a boost gauge ( -1.0 ~ 3.0 bar) and 1 extra gauge.
[1] Oil Pressure
[2] Oil Temp
[3] Vacuum
[4] Volts
[5] Air/Fuel Ratio
Initial thoughts are towards oil pressure, thinking that a drop in oil pressure might a good way to detect problems ? ...
Thoughts welcome

Out of that list I would discount Vacuum (not that useful IMO) Volts (the ignition light will come on as soon as the alternator voltage drops below the battery voltage, which is the main problem) and Air/Fuel (assuming this is a Fuel Injected car, the Air/Fuel ratio is managed by the ECU, so the time spent mapping it should make this redundant) leaving either oil temp or oil pressure.
Of the two I'd be inclined to go with Oil Pressure, but oil temperature is very useful as it's the correct measure of when the engine is ready to be worked hard.
