My Gauge Choices Ok?
Curious if this is the smartest way to go if I have 4 gauges to work with.
A/F
Boost
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
The A/F is autometer and the other 3 are Defi BF Amber.
Curious if Fuel Pressure would be a better idea then either Oil Pressure or Oil temp, since I am having a CJM Stage 2 Fuel System installed.
Thanks for the input.

I have the EXACT same setup. I would rather get the innovate wideband instead of the A/F from autometer. I choose oil pressure because I replaced all my stock gauges for aftermarket ones.

I put a PLX dm-100 connected to 2 wideband sensors and 2 egt sensors, one for each bank. They are pretty easy to set up, a little expensive but they give you so many choices to configure and re-configure gages.

I had and old M-250 with a 52mm gauge and that thing was pure crap. Has PLX improved their stuff?

But aaanyways, PLX?
Oil pressure gauge vs fuel pressure gauge?
Fuel pressure gauge can be mounted inside the engine bay, but so can the oil pressure gauge.

After asking a few shops and getting other members opinions, i think you really only NEED a A/F and a boost gauge. You can have as many as you like to feel safe. but i think you only really NEED these 2.

This is the first A/F gage I've had, as far as I know so far it has been pretty accurate, the sensor is a bosch. I only have one DM-100 display now, once they release the fuel/oil pressure sensors I plan on installing 2 more in the gage pod on the dash. Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Intake air temp, oil temp, data logger and OBDII. I may even have transmission and differential temp.
