New Evo owner

Hello, new Evo IX MR owner here. Came from a 2017 STI that I sold back in January. Bought this Evo with some mods on it already. Intake, TBE, walbro 255 fuel pump and rc1000 injectors running E85. Car feels great so far but the previous owner had disconnected the stock gauges. I'm looking into installing aftermarket gauges. What should I be monitoring? I was planning on getting AEM A/F ratio, and then gauges for oil pressure and boost . Not sure how important it is to monitor volts but since it's a stock guage I figure it might be important although I never did on my modded STI. Looking for advice please. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard. You and I have a similar spec'd EVO. RC1000s running E85

I think you have the gauge importance down. (AF / Boost / Oil press). Oil temp would be a good one as well

Hope to see you active on the boards. We could use you out there

Let me know if you have other questions

Joe

I agreed on the gauge selection. I would recommend though going with mechanical oil pressure gauge over an electronic one though. More accurate and far more reliable in my opinion.
