well if you want an oil temp guage or afr guage or any other guage then get a duel pod... if not then dont...

are you going to use any of them?

someone i know has the following in his:
air fuel ratio
nos level
boost
oil temp
and i think air/nos ratio.

but he has a pretty highly tuned 600+bhp mr2 and does all his own ecu reprogramming etc so actually uses most of the read outs.

personally i cant see the need for any of them unless your going big power/have a stand alone ecu and do all the tuning yourself...

I wouldn't bother with any other gauges to be honest.

I only use my oil temp gauge to know when I can give the car some stick without doing it on a cold engine

Ye thats same reason bud. You cant see the oil temp on the mk4s? Unlike the mk3 & 2s.

Tbh when the car is at full temp, the oil will be too

Not always as the oil takes longer to heat up dont it?
