Question about TVS. (Gauges)

I put this under General because it doesn't really apply to the LSJ 2.0 exclusively. I would imagine this pertains to all of the engines.

I'm probably going to be putting a TVS on my LSJ. I tried doing some digging, and also read the guide-lines threads on the TVS. However, I didn't see anyone mentioning gauges for oil pressure, or anything like that.

Is it worth putting in extra gauges after installing the TVS S/C? I plan on putting in other engine mods as well, so figured I'd ask. If so, what other gauges do you think the car could actually use? I assumed Wideband o2 sensor and oil pressure. However I don't know a whole lot about cars.

you dont need a pile of extra gauges. add an interceptor gauge, you can monitor most stuff wit hthat. if you feel you want to keep an eye on oil pressure you can add a sensor to the interceptor for that.

Aeroforce interceptor to monitor intake air temperature and knock and a wideband o2 for air fuel ratio are all the gauges you really need.

Yeah. I think I'm gonna get the triple gauge pod pillar, and make it: 1) OEM PSI Gauge, 2) Wideband O2 gauge, 3) Aeroforce Gauge.

The replies are appreciated. I really wanted 3 gauges in total to begin with, but didn't know something like the Aeroforce scan gauge existed for the Balt.

if you are going to go TVS get the turbo cobalt boost gauge or aftermarket. Mine would max out and go back to zero until i left off the gas and got on it again.

turbo cobalt gauge will require some rewiring to make it work but it is possible
