gauge configuration

[Billy Dagwood]

My oil pressure and volt gauges arrived today!! They're going into a CasopoliS two-gauge cubbypod. They're both 52 mm prosport gauges, so they're identical - looks aren't going to solve this one.


SO .. my question is a simple one: which one should go on the left, and which on the right? Obviously it's not a big deal, but I thought I'd post up the question anyways. What do you think, and why?

I put the most looked at one closest to me. My boost gauge is in the left hole of my Cubbypod.

i have a boost gauge in an avo pod on the pillar ..

Why would one want a voltage gauge? I'd think I'd rather have an oil gauge and water temp gauge.

I have the Boost in the AVO, Oil pressure in left cubby hole, and EGT in right cubby hole

I see oil pressure and voltage gauges as sort of "standard" gauges for cars. I didn't choose these for performance reasons, but rather so that I can keep an eye on two things that are crucial to the general well-being of the vehicle.


After the initial excitement of seeing two more needles sweep on startup, I probably won't run with the cubby open all the time.

to clarify .. I just mean that I'll check them on startup, and then every so often (or if something in the car's behvaior indicates to me that I should), but I don't think they necessarily need to be viewed on a constant basis.
