1) what would fluctuation in the EGT tell me ? I'm looking to learn some things too~

2) I understand the oil psi and oil Temp readings, but what might Water temp show me (or not show//) ??

Thanks !!!

Egt can tell you if your motor is running lean or rich pretty much. If its heating up a lot, rich, if its cooling down, probably dumpin some fuel. I think a wideband o2 gauge is way more useful than EGT but thats just me. I think just the basic oil pressure and boost will work for me. Had wideband on my other car. Its nice if you are crazy wtih mods and can change the tune and have standalone and stuff. relatively useless if you can't change anything.

Just like the R53 we will offer the pods separate from the gauges if you choose to use another route. No problem! They accept both 52 and 60mm gauges.

Hope that helps! Thank you!

What about for those of us that have chrome interior, will you have matching guages?

On the chrome rings, at this point we will not have a matching chrome ring for the gauges. (You can see what we will be using on our R53 gauge packages here!)

Thank you for asking!
