I don't see the need to buy one unless you have the need for gauges?

I'm getting my s/c installed in a week or two...but anyways it's gonna have to wait. I found that installation wont be cheap at all. However, they told me it would take couple of days to get s/c installed...I think thats crazy, its a day job it shouldn't take more than a day!

I know man but thats not me....I can do something minor but this is "biggie" for me, plus the oil pan has to be tapped, than welded...I wouldn't risk. I wish I can find somebody who's not an "official mechanic" and have him do it, I'd rather pay a regular mustang lover than arrogant mechanic who said it would take 4 to 5 days! I will call brenspeed.com today and ask for an estimate....they are like 2 hours from me. It probably wont be cheap either but I'll try!

Well aside from taping the oil pan, nothing about the S/C install is hard. It's just a matter or removing some bolts, taking your time, and following the instructions. It's the tuning that's a pain.
I'd only get the boost gauge and air to fuel ratio, if you insist on the third then make it the water temperature gauge to help monitor engine heat.

I honestly prefer having an EGT instead of water temp. EGT's rise a lot faster than water temps.

Oil pan takes all of 10min to tap, it doesn't have to be welded.
Its really SIMPLE. Save the money and use it on other mods....
Also plugs. NGK Tr6 (i think those are 2heat ranges colder) until its tuned the the NGK IX.

But whats the point of having an EGT? Unless you have a turbo?
Just guess its gonna be between super hot and very hot.
Boost - Air/Fuel(wideband) - and fuel pressure or oil pressure. Either of those last 2 drop and you don't know it bad things happend!

. I'm tired of those "mechanics" talking sh!t how it takes 3 to 4 days and there's a lot of work to be done, and asking some crazy prices!
