What are you trying to monitor using an EGT? Are you concerned about proper fuel mixture or high exhaust temperatures while running under heavy load such as on a road course? I think an EGT gauge has a place in the cockpit but a WBO2 is obviously far better for monitoring fuel mixture.

Well ...... I only have a boost gauge..... I have a wideband but it doesnt stay in the car 24/7...only for tuning my maps.

Instead of getting a bunch of gauges that I wouldn't use like oil pressure and fuel pressure....I purchased an OBD-II logger. This way you can log timing, fuel trims, ect....spend the cash on a useful tool instead of bling that wont be used.

Why is Oil pressure so important, doesn't the car already have one itself. If you check your oil level frequently, you won't have to worry too much about oil pressure right?
