Most gauges tell you after **** is broken. I personally run aem gauges, tied into my infinity with all the failsafes enabled. So if I go lean car cuts boost, if I loose oil pressure car cuts rpm, temp sensors cut boost.

The morale of the story the gauge is just there to look cool. You are not taking turns at 100mph and watching your gauges.

Disagree with them being there just to "look cool" have had several times where a gauge has saved my *** and motor before I continued driving like a dumbass and had a serious issue. They are not necessarily needed but do help.

yeah agreed, i mean i feel some are sort of pointless to have, but gauges like boost and air/fuel are a must for me.


i know what gauges i want ,
i honestly just cant decide whether i want to go with double gauges on steering wheel with a double touch screen head unit in middle OR stick with single head unit i have now and run triple gauges above it in the middle

+1. For the road course I actually do scan the gauges on whatever the longest straight is each lap.
