i'm new here in this section so my question is about the gauges
I' thinking about going boosting my tc but i would like to know which of the gauges ar ekind of neccessary
boost gauge
afr gauge
any others

 

uh u dont NEED any gauges
but if you must have them lol
id get
boost/vac
wideband
oil
egt
vtech if your really serious
in that order

 

hahahahaha

vtech!

ola you are the man!

 

Dont listen to anyone that says u done NEED gauges. They obviously dont know much about boosting a car.

Most important are:
boost
wideband a/f
oil temp
exhaust gas temp

 

He meant "don't NEED" ^^

You will definitely need a boost gauge to make sure you're not boosting wayyy more then you should.

Good ones to have would include, in this order:
Wideband, a real one not an autozone gauge.
Oil temp
Exhaust Gas

Hawgs hit the nail on the head.

 

Well the guy who just said that owns a boosted tc w/ gauges too, he gives me advice and help in building mine so I dont think he dont know much.. Im not sure y he said that coz I do believe that gauges are necessity in aftermarket turbos.. maybe he meant you dont need gauges to make your turboed car run.. anyweiz in my opinion from most important are

1. Air/Fuel ratio
2. Boost
3. Oil Pressure
4. EGT gauges

then if you want you can run
5. Oil temp
6. something else or maybe scangauge

 

You dont NEED tires to make a car run -- but I wouldnt drive w/o them

 

seriously though some who went turbo didnt have gauges right away and didnt have problems running the car,of course its not advised.. but I havent heard anyone running a car without tires.. excellent analogy my man.

 

actually i had my gauges on my car for about a month before i installed the turbo.
i was driving around looking all cool with my gauges and my car was NA. hahahaha
lmao
u dont need seats. u dont need a hood.
u dont need lug nuts. you dont need to drive a slow "cough" car
but seriously u need that damn vtech gauge

 

"Vtech just kicked in..."

 

I thought those gauges are only for honduhs? haha
Anyweiz to the OP, you need gauges if you wanna get boosted.. get yourself sometime doing a deep search here in SL or somewhere else and you will learn a lot

 

Id say boost and wideband are a must... oil pressure is always good too.
