Oil temp, pressure, and coolant temp gauges would all be nice to have. There is a company called zadatech based out of the uk. I have their oil temp gauge. They offer alot of cool solutions if you don't want to run full size round gauges. Even have multiple gauge readouts on single lcd screens. Awesome stuff.
Just checked their site out earlier today, and that does seem rather innovative. Multiple gauges on a decent sized LCD screen.
Kinda want the typical round gauges, but im curious if getting a Zada Tech would be cheaper overall? How do they mount also, i didnt see anything about that..
I would assume that when the stock gauge reaches the middle mark, everything is warm enough.
But you probably want to keep a much closer eye on your temperatures.
You can get an Elm327 reader (around $10) that plugs into your obd2 port and broadcasts to your smartphone.
Using the torque app it shows you Everything.
But you probably don't want a phone mounted to your dash.
The gauges mentioned by Jackie chan sound really nice...
Yeah, I know a couple of people who have run Torque, but they send it through a tablet they have in their glove-box or something. Usually they have a friend or something with to watch it while they do datalogging? (I think thats the term).
And so, the stock temp gauge should be fine, but an aftermarket oil/water temp combo would be ideal?
Just really don't want to break/ruin my car after finally going turbo lol
