Would there be any functional purpose to adding gauges to a non-boosted car? I've been toying with the idea and I know I'm going to be staying N/A all the way.

I've heard A/F are unreliable and are basically just for show (which would suit my purpose).

The more research I do, the more money it seems like it'll cost. So, I don't want to put lots of money into something that will have 0 purpose.


If I were to choose 2 gauges for an N/A car, what 2 would be the most useful?

 

oil pressure and voltage is usefull in ANY car

 

i got oil pressure voltage and water temp in my non boosted pro

 

I put A/F and voltage in my NA pro. But the A/F does little good, beside that tellin me the car is ran rich from the factory, IE: need fuel preasure regulator for better performance and fuel mileage!
But WTF it looks good.

 

I know the voltage is a simple tap into virtually any power wire.

I understand we need a wideband O2 sensor to get any good readings from the A/F so I'm not really looking at that. Although I'm sure it looks good.

My question is, how difficult is it to install an electrical oil pressure. Is there a simple wire we can tap into on the P5?

pr5owner, do your gauges light up?

 

On another note...

I'm looking at the Defi Gauges and they don't have voltmeter.

So, I'm set on getting oil pressure. What should I get for a second one. Oil temp, fuel pressure, fuel temp?

Thing seem to be strong for oil pressure and oil temp.

In all honestly, however, I don't want a gauge that's going to be static all the time. So, with that in mind, would anyone say nay to Oil pressure and Fuel pressure? (All electrical)
