How many gauges?
I was wondering how many gauges you run on your IDI motor after you put a turbo on. How many and what are the gauges? I am planning on putting a turbo on for a guy i know. If any body has any good pics of their tubo setup i wouldnt mind getting some.

Well I have no turbo or anything but if you get a turbo you will want a boost gauge and a pyrometer.
You can never over do it with gauges.

I'm figuring on oil psi, oil temp, water temp, boost, and pyro. Just have to figure out where I'm going to mount them.

I would try to find the 3 guage piller mount. I would like to mount my trans temp, egt, and boost up there out of the way. No brackets to screw in dash or below on the floor. They are easly viewed but not in they way.
