Engine health - Useful dials and gauges

Post by slobbo »

I'm just embarking on the TDI upgrade and want to know what gauges are worth installing to keep an eye on things?

Also anyone seen any nice tidy solutions for installing in/on a T25 dash?
Cheers
Rob.

IMO, oil temperature gauge and water temp. gauge. (clock types)

Also an exhaust gas temp gauge if you plan on tuning it to get more power is generally recommended.

Seen some people put the extra gauges in the flat plastic heater front panel.
Keep it real.
