Would the EGT & AFR both go to the downpipe? I think I only have one 02 bung for the lambda sensor, so id need to get 2 more welding in? (unless there is one in the manifold?)

Post by: SiofChester on November 26, 2014, 04:40:14 pm: +1 for EGT and AFR, key to letting you know if you're about the melt something. Ideally 4 individual EGT probes in the manifold so you can see each cylinder...

Post by: GrayMK5GTI on November 27, 2014, 07:27:20 am: For me, the most important gauge has to be the one that says how much petrol is left :innocent:

Loool cant disagree with that

Ive had a look at the Polar FIS Advanced. does look decent and OEM. how much are they?

Is there any alternatives?

Can you get the liquid gauge for the mk5 or any others?

Post by: xjay1337 on November 27, 2014, 10:41:54 am: And the Polar's are between £180 and £200.

Cheaper than Liquid Gauge.

Post by: jk99 on November 28, 2014, 07:23:38 pm: I have boost, oil temp, and afr in my track car. Also have tyre pressure monitor. I don't see much need for aftermarket gauges in a road car unless highly tuned.
