    2.which one would be a better buy...??...electrical oil temp or electrical oil pressure..??

    1) Electrical is much better then mechanical. Go electrical if you can afford it.
    2 and 3) If you're buying two gauges, I would go with boost and EGT. Three gauges, add oil pressure.

    There was a little talk about this in a thread not too long ago. I bought my self an electrical Autometer Sport Comp boost gauge; has memory peak boost and warning light. It's a very nice gauge w/ these features. Come's w/ a 2bar? MAP sensor, nylon hose w/ fittings, red/green bulb condoms, some hardware, and wires.

    What I like are the memory and warning light. Also the MAP I can rig it up w/ my harness if I happen to go w/ a standalone later.

    It does this sweep thing, goes to full vaccum to calibrate auto setting, then goes back to zero. Sometimes it gets stuck because I start the car too soon. I just turn the car off, let my solenoid reset itself somewhere behind the dash, then I start back up again. I riged the power for the gauge to my MAIN relay, the bulb w/ my cluster so I can dim it.

    definatly go with boost egt and oil presure for starters. u dont really need the fuel pressure gauge unless u add it to those three.
