which gauge to get 1600 degrees or 2200 degrees EGT gauge?
im buying the RRM turbo kit and putting a deposit tomorrow so they can start building it. im also going to need some gauges. i had decided to get stewart warners. they had 2 versions of boost gauges as well. one was 0-15 PSI and the other was 0-30 PSI. obviously im not going to run anything higher than 15 PSI. do you guys think the 1600 degree temp is good enough?

They say that beyond 1600 is when engine parts begin to melt... I'd say go with that, so you can see at a quick glance if you're about to max out... As for boost, go with the 15 psi... if you get the 30, you'll be boosting and it'll barely show. At least with the 15 psi guage, the needle will move a lot and it'll look nicer
