mattyD Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I would say........................oil pressuresurely your not stupid to give the car some when its cold so any temp gauges arent needed at this stage and oil pressure is very important Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wardy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ive just ordered oil temp, oil pressure and boost in bar. You will have to get a sandwich plate for your oil pressure and tempreture probes to connect into Quote Link to post Share on other sites
