EGT gauge

How important is an exhaust temp gauge? I've read that it's good to tell if you're running rich/lean esp for turbo cars. How bout for n/a, and supercharged cars as well?

I've always been told if your running a stock setup then you don't have to worry much about EGTs as the factory setup should run at a safe specification. However, as with anything I guess it wouldn't hurt to know how hot everything is getting.

 

Especially with turbos I believe they are important because you run the risk of burning up the turbo if things are to hot.

 

As for supercharged, I don't know if it as important because the supercharged into sucking in hot exhaust gases.

 

For N/A I'd say it isn't very important, but if your modding what the hell, add one in that would be kind of cool to see in a W-Body!!
