ok so i'm getting my 85 up and running. i want upgrade to aftermarket gauges. i plan on getting the 3 gauge pillar so i'm looking for 52mm gauges or 2 1/6" i was thinking oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, a/f, EGT? is it necesary?, boost i have but might replace.

now i think i ran across a egt/boost gauge. cool
now anyone know where to get a oil temp/pressure gauge

or a water temp/oil temp gauge
or a water temp/oil pressure gauge.

the dual gauges. the ones with two inside of one.

i don't think i need an EGT gauge, maybe not a oil temp gauge. but water temp oil pressure a/f for sure. i have a boost gauge already. this is for a supra turbo motor. boosting around 9 maybe more. i would like to know your guy's opinion on necesity of gauges and also if you know where to get any combo gauges

thanks much

ryan

Body Damage is Cool
I've always run oil temp and water temp through the same gauge, using two separate sensors and a DPDT switch (I also run LED indicators to identify one from the other, hence the DP). This works pretty well.

I haven't seen any of the temp/pressure combo gauges, but it does seem like it would be a good idea.

well i did some searching again today, using the word combo, i came up with more valid websites

TOS gauges
westach
i think these are for FORDS? :\

so i'm guessin westach and afew others are the only ones who make custom or dual gauges
i wonder if autometer makes them? i haven't seen any what about VDO? can't be that hard.any help is appreciated.. i'm now leaning towards westach. i heard good things about them over at pirate also

thanks
