Probably a stupid noob question..

But..Just wondering, what gauges to people have on the track cars? Is boost and oil temperature all you really need to be monitoring? I'm not a fan off all these stupid gauges that people have hanging off there pillars to make you car look fast. And a what oil temperature should you be taking the car easy at on the track? I havent got an oil cooler yet. I'm assuming anything over 120C is running to hot..

Cheers,
Si

Oil pressure too would be a pretty important one

Water Temperature, Oil Pressure, Turbo Boost, Oil Temperature.

Most important ^

No oil pressure will result in your engine blowing up!

Oil pressure is the oil pump pumping the oil around your engine basicly. (bit more technical than that tho)
