I have a boost, Temp and Volt gauge but what is the next best couple of gauges to get ?

I personally think volt gauges are a waste of time, or there just to make the space.
I would say a must for turbocharger motors are: boost, Oil temp and oil pressure.
you didn't say what temp one you had. Oil, water, intake etc.

Spa gauges are good plus you get 2 readouts per gauge.

The temp gauge i have i think just reads the engine temp like the dial on the dash.
Are fuel/air gauges worthwile ?

myblack - them gauges are expensive mate or is it just me being tight
Do most garages fit all the gauges or is this a specilist job ?

I have the SPA dual gauges and the most useful one in my book is the Air Charge Temp one taking a temp reading at the throttle body.

That, along with the oil pressure/oil temp gauges are essential. Boost gauge is for bling. Voltage guage is completely meaningless.

If you want cheaper gauges try Automotive Dials Gauges pods t-piece i have seen these in action and they do look extremely nice.

if you think the DUAL reading gauges are expensive have a look at these blitz ones
Blitz UK: Products > Electronics > MD Gauges which are SINGLE reading gauges.

The SPA gauges initially look expensive but remember that they are 2 gauges in one so you are getting twice the value, half the wiring problems, and using half the space.

They look similar to the prosport gauges a lot of us use, they do the job well at a cheap price. Prosport ship to the UK.
