I am beefing that stuff up as I will eventually be going for more power (Visconti stg1+ or higher)

It was in my budget so I ordered it now

I've seen my oil temps climb pretty good during just normal operation. I plan to get out to the track more so this stuff makes sense to me. Would love to see if after you get it installed.

Ordered an oil pressure sending kit to support the p3 air vent gauge. http://www.fastwrx.com/reoilprsekit.html

idk if i need it or not, it's $20 more. I can use it without the extension hose if it fits fine.

@Sportsguy83 the P3 air vent gauge supports a fuel pressure sensor also, what is needed to hook that up?

You can get that through OBDII, so its probably going to show without needing an external sensor. @FA20Club.com can correct me if wrong

EXTERNAL SENSORS
OIL PRESSURE 150PSI $60
FUEL PRESSURE 150PSI $60 <-- did I just waste $60? is fa20club ripping people off?

During my tune my AFR reading around 6600 always kinda went wacko, so I'm also getting an external AFR gauge for drive around, if there's an issue with the stock AFR gauge, reading from that gauge is going to be pointless, that's why I'm going for both, Torque app for cars AFR, and external for real AFR.

Well, OBDII will tell you the DI pressure, BUT I think it will not tell you the pressure in the fuel line and that is probably the sensor Tony is selling. I didn't mean to provide false info so, sorry for that.

Edit: installing the Fuel pressure sensor will be a bit more involved as most probably you will need to buy the special tool required to work with the fuel lines.

We are talking about Fuel pressure, not Air/Fuel ratio. I personally have a third O2 sensor and AFR via Failsafe guage. I like the wideband readings.

Thanks. I honestly have no idea what i'm doing with gauges and sensors. What is an afr sensor? Should I be worried about getting one?

I think its personal preference at this point. I got an external reading for AFR because I wanted to have independent verification of the reading the OBDII OEM sensor can provide, and because the other O2 reads a wider band. You will be fine with the stock sensor and OBDII reading. Think of the other sensor as not required but nice to have..

You can't trust the oem sensor. It's good for a reference only.

It's suggested guys with fuel systems get a wideband AF sensor

Thanks John,

I plan on going stg1+ in the future.

What sensor should I buy, and where do I install it? The fa20club p3 air vent gauge I bought supports a 5v input for fuel.
