Looking for advice from you turbo pros.

What do you prefer and what are the pros and cons each way?

I have always had EGT's with BB kits and this turbo word is new to me and I notice that alot of you are running AFR gauges.

Thanks in advance.

I ran EGT's for years.

Then I got the turbo and it has the AFR. At this point I like the AFR much better. The response time is so much faster. The AFR sensors don't last as long, maybe a full season, but again I like the AFR better.

One slight draw back with AFR is typically its in the exhaust far enough down on the exhaust that you don't know what the difference between mag and Pto side. So EGT's are better for Balancing the cylinders. (piston wash is best for this anyway)
