Message	Do you really pay attention to your EGT's when your driving hard? How bout peak warning lights if its that big of a deal. Water temp and oil pressure are nowhere near nessecary when you have the stock gauges right in front of you. The water temp tells you if the car is hot or cold, which is all you need to know. You dont need to know if its 172.3 or if its 178.7. Oil pressure? Same thing...You have oil pressure, it climbs with RPM's, your good to go. Fuel pressure, manifold pressure, A/F-- Fits nicely in the DIN. Anything else...can easily go in the glove box or tucked away somewhere else if you REALLY need to have it. I can see 1 boost gauge on the pillar, but thats it. And above all that, im sure when your going 100+ with your spirited driving, your paying attention to every single gauge as well....yeah right.
