Which of these two gauges would you install if room is limited?
Me and a friend were discussing this:
Water psi, or oil temp?
Only have room for one additional gauge on a blower motor application because the boost and fuel pressure gauge are taking up all the extra room on the dash. All the basic gauges there otherwise.
The real question is: Which of the two are more important????
I'm voting for oil because the motor has a circulating pump... I figure as long as the engne cooling is ok, the intercooler should also be seeing decent water.
Love to hear your thoughts and opinions

I'm not an engine builder so it will be interesting to see what someone that is will say but I would go with water press. My thought process would be that most of the time a high oil temp could be traced back to lack of cooling water so if you had a water press guage you'd see a drop in press before an actual increase in oil temp.
