I run boost and EGT. But now that my LP and IP pumps have both shelled out, I'd sure like to have a fuel pressure gauge too. Decisions decisions.

Maybe it's just me, but the boost gauge is just something that says if you have it, not the most vital of things to monitor.

I agree and I would spend the money on a Fuel gauge and an EGT gauge.
FIll in you signature. If youre heavily bombed, get them all!!!!, but until then i'd go for the fuel and egt gauges!

Well see when i had my PSD i didnt have to worry about my FP or my LP goin out... So I just ran Boost, EGT, Tranny...

CODODGE2500MAN,
You need the boost gauge...Its as important as a EGT gauge. If your EGT's go up for some reason you can glance at your boost and if you see no boost then you know ur turbo is fried. (Dont ask me how i know)

My choices would be EGT & Fuel Pressure if I could only have two.

Those are the two that monitor functions where you don't realize there's a problem until its too late.

If you tow alot a tranny guage would come in handy, best to save your money for the big 3 or four if you have a auto plus the pods with guages look COOOOOOOOOL!

Getting back to the question, you should fill out your signature so we all know what you have. My old 12valve doesn't really need a fuel pressure gauge but it depends on year. It would be nice to have EGT, Boost, Fuel press and Tranny Temp.

Click on the "user cp" button up above, then profile, then you'll see the signature box.
