P 3 Gage

I installed the P 3 gauge in my 86 over the weekend. I purchased mine with the gage already installed in the vent. It took about 15 min, I did not connect the boost sensor and wires yet. I will after my Jackson Racing super charger is installed later this year. On my way to work today. I was watching the Oil temp and Coolant temp. The oil on the freeway after about 5 miles, was 212,and the coolant was 185. My car is stock. except for the cat back exhaust and TRD air filter.
Thanks.
Ron

I mean it looks cool, and will be useful when you supercharge it, but I don't see why I would spend that kind of money. I have a $10 bluetooth OBDII adapter and have my temps and anything else I'd like from the OBDII port show up on my headunit when I want to be looking at it.

That is true. I just thought it was a nice solution to having a built in gauge.
I was ok with the price.

Love mine, I keep it on oil temp most of the time.
I really like that you won't really notice it unless you know to look for it.

Very true, that is what I did today. When I have the boost part of it set up,
After I have JR super charger installed. I also rotated the gauge today, so I could see the read out without moving my left hand.

It's definitely a good gauge. I run this myself with 3 more gauges for my JRSC setup. It has come in handy for sure, especially for track use.

I've been looking at this gauge for when I get my turbo. Where did you get it from and what options did you choose?

I purchased it from P3 directly. I ordered it with it mounted in the vent from them. Plus the boost sensor accessory for my future super charger install.
