aem gauges which one to buy

I have the AEM Tru-boost controller fitted in a two gauge A pillar pod ,I need to buy another aem gauge to match but not shore witch one to get for tt bpu oil pressure is the cheapest but i think it might be a wast of time so witch one would be best .

Exhaust Gas Temp gauge imho Jeff.

Assuming the Tru-Boost controller already reads boost level, then i'd say the next best gauge would be EGT. However AEM also do a well priced Wideband gauge and i'd say that would be a better buy over EGT.

Excuse me for being a bit thick where does the censor for the Wideband gauge go does it replace the stock 02 censor or do you have to get it fitted into the front decat.

It's an additional sensor which you need to have fitted to your de-cat pipe. It just requires a hole drilling and then the boss being welded to the pipe.

I'd go for the EGT gauge if you are only buying a gauge to match the other one. The WBo2 from AEM is limited in it's scale.

I'm not saying it's a bad bit of kit but, when it goes off the scale you don't know what the real picture is.

Many people have them and are happy with them.
