cornish6544 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 So I'm getting 3 gauges and decided to go with the pro sport evo brand. There are a lot of options to consider and i would just like peoples opinions on which i should go for. There is all these to choose from: .boost psi .boost bar .oil pressure .oil temperature .water temperature .fuel pressure .air/fuel ratio ( narrowband ) .voltage so which three should i go for? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Boost, oil temp and oil pressure would be my 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Agree with the three options mentioned. I have a 4-1. Nice little gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish6544 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 can you please explain the difference between boost psi and boost bar as I'm not sure on which to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'll just copy and paste, 1 Bar = 14.5037738 Psi. Bar is the atmospheric pressure at the sea level. Psi is 1 pound of force per square inch. Personally I like to use bar measurement as easier to read.

Piggysniffer Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I always go psi, why am I always in the minority....... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Bar all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Why so mr ghost ? I like to see mine reading an exact psi as apposed to trying to convert what it's showing into psi, am I missing summat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm the same but opposite. Can't be trying to maths the psi to bar each time. I thinks it's all personal preference. Much like Fahrenheit and Celsius. They both tell you what it is just different scaling. You could argue psi is more accurate because it uses a broader scale.

Tidgy Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 hmm, you know how you can get bhp gauges on some cars? i wonder if you can get a bdp gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We could always start using inHg to really break the mold 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Oil pressure (so if you get a leak you know early enough) Oil temp (so you know it's warm enough to use boost ) Egt or afr (so you know it's not leaning off due to a intake leak) Boost can help diagnose leaks and overboost but otherwise it just looks pretty And I prefer bar but that's only a personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 i have 4 in my cars,glad i did with the last blobeye i had,i have boost -bar oil pressure oil temp and water temp which saved my blob as my normal temp gauge was reading normal temp but i noticed the water temp gauge was gradually going up so pulled over and had a look,my radiator hose had got a little hole in and all coolant was quirting out,i think by time my normal temp gauge would have noticed it would have done head gasket,so i allways get water temp gauge as well now. i had 5 in my 1st hatch i had volts as well but i do like lots gauges so i no whats happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I started with a cheap depo 4 in 1 gauge. Boost /oil pressure /oil temp /volts as it was only £100 and I thought I'd upgrade it at a later date. 2 scoobs , 2 engines ,2 gearboxes and 5 yrs later the depo is still working fine lol . But I do now run a apexi fc ecu which monitors everything except afr on the hand controller . A apexi avcr which monitors throttle position, revs ,boost and injector induity. 3 lamco v1 sti gauges Depo 4 in 1 And a road angel . So I've gone from 1 discreet compact gauge to looking like a airplane cockpit [emoji23] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Looking very nice 👍🏻 What pedals you got there? Mine are just boring black ones I used to have a set of stainless steel and pink newage sti ones which were easy to fit . (I gave them to stants). The silver and black ones in that pic were off a spec c but I think newage wrx's use the same , i bought them cos they match my scoobs colour better . But in that pic I still had the sti newage ss and pink throttle peddle [emoji55] Currently it has the silver and black spec c foot rest ,clutch and brake peddle with the original throttle peddle As although its tweeking my ocd [emoji33] ,you have to remove the complete throttle peddle assembly to fit the matching throttle peddle. ..... so I keep putting it off [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
