    If the Aeroforce can show oil pressure then I'd go vac. If not, then I'd go oil pressure. I like having an actual oil press. gauge in all my cars. Has saved me from some failures over the years.

    Wideband. My boost gauge shows vac until you produce boost.

    don't think aeroforce reads oil pressure. mine doesn't. Get a boost/vacuum gauge, ditch the boost gauge and run the oil pressure with that.

    Oil pressure is even more important than boost.

    You need the oil pressure sender from Aeroforce in order for the gauge to read it. Our cars do not have a sensor for it.
