oil Temp - when flogging the turbos they have been known to heat up a bit, dont wanna go burning your oil too much!
there's no real point in getten an Air Fuel Ratio guage unless you have a wide band O2 sensor..

you have a turbo yeah? BOOOOOOOST guage! always fun to watch! just not when it over boosts ( , but then thats why you get it!
I only have 2, boost & oil pressure, but if i was to get a third it'd be oil temp..

Well all the work done to my car wasnt at the one place..
Valve springs got done at Nizpro Auto was done at Bayswater Automatics Front half of the exhaust (turbo to end of cat converter) was done by Ace Exhaust's in Ringwood. I did it from the cat back. I installed the Process West intercooler and under battery pipe, trans oil cooler, and guages. the rest was installed by Danny (AKA Headsex on fordxr6turbo.com) he did; installed 12psi actuator and ported the wastegate seimans 60lb injectors in-tank walbro fuel pump Headsex also tuned it. hopefully getten a retune very soon because the dump pipe and 3.5" cat only just got installed, so hoping for around 320rwkw!

I just wanna get over that magic 300rwkw mark then i'll stop modding! I dont see the point, you already have a water temp guage on your dash cluster, in my opinion it's kinda like getten a monster tacho when you already have a perfectly fine tacho in your dash.... But thats just my opinion anyway..

Personally if your standard gauge is working like it is supposed to then I rate them almost in the same league as after-market fuel level gauges. Pure wank factor.

I'd have (and do) oil temp and oil pressure.* The only other option I'd consider is water temp (the factory gauge in the cluster is rather insensitive) *FWIW FPV put a oil pressure and boost gauge in the F6's. GT's get oil temp and oil pressure
