Gauge Increments to buy

Im looking to buy new gauges and only have a wideband. Im at 714 whp on a dyno and pushing 32 psi with e85. I want to go defi becase ive heard great things and i am thinking the best are
1. Boost
2. Oil Pressure
3. Fuel Pressure
stop me if im wrong.
The thing is the boost gauge will be maxed out, i noticed defi had came out with a new "max-45PSI gauge" but i cant find it. Im not sure which specific increments to look for considering oil and fuel pressure. defi make a gauge for oil pressure specifically but not for fuel pressure to match the red racer gauges im looking at. any help is appreciated i just want a good matching clean setup that will be able to read all the most important stuff here. was considering an exhaust temp gauge too. going with a 3 pod for the dash btw because my WB is integrated into the cluster replacing the "lancer" circle.

Aem makes a 35 and 50 lb max gauge.
As for fuel pressure your car should idle at 43.5 psi and advance at a 1:1 ratio so I would get one that goes to at least 83psi (40psi of boost)

Pro sport digital premium

Was checking out the pro sport premiums. Heard very good and horrible stories. They have all the gauges with the right increments where as defi only has a few in their production line "racer gauges". What's the best way to go with this lol

oil and fuel pressure are typically 0-100psi gauges. boost, something reads the max boost you plan to run

if you have BSE done get the 150psi oil pressure gauge.


I have never had a real use for a boost gauge, so unless you really need it I would use that spot for oil temp. I am also guessing that you have a wideband gauge.


I like the AEM gauges also, and make sure you get gauges that use an external sensor. You do not want to run lines back into the cab.

I run a Defi Boost, Defi EGT, and AEM UEGO wideband. After realizing monitoring oil pressure is more important than EGT, I opted to replace it with Defi's Oil pressure gauge.

Last gauge I added was a voltage gauge in parallel with my fuel pump to monitor the voltage rise at the pump during acceleration. This one was just a small, no name, generic gauge.

Alright I should be fine. I'm going with the prosport evo digital premium 60mm gauges. With either a center dash mount or the rexspeed dash mount that is positioned towards diver and closer. The psi will get maxed out since I run 35, but not all the time at least. Would be nice if they had 45 like defi
