what should I be looking for?

I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who has gauges and doesn't know what they mean or what to look for when watching them. I have Defi link boost, egt, and oil press and I also have AEM Uego. What should I watch for when monitoring my gauges?

well...boost is just tellin you where you boosting, also if it overboost you will be able to see that, ofcoarse if that happenes you should let off gas....

uego is just your afr's...showing your air to fuel mixture....i suppose at WOT should be in 11's or so,,if tuned..

egt is exhaust as temps...i belive i read 750 - 800 celcius should be that reading at WOT..otherwise engine possibly running to hot perhaps

my oil pressure been broke for a while ...well when first installin these gauges, i think the main thing is to kinda watch them and see how your car run...once something appears off you know somethings not right.

oil pressure is normally the faster u go, the higher it go..max out like 100psi something like that....i would imagine it would get affected if ther was an issue with your oil pump, or sudden loss of oil.
