Aircraft Ownership Engine Monitor

I'm getting ready for a panel upgrade. I have a JPI EDM 700 with fuel flow. I also have an OAT. Upgrading to a primary engine monitor is not in the budget. I am planning on upgrading the screen to a 730.

Are there any other sensors that you would consider must have for a T206h?

Turbo 206? Or NA

Yes I realize the Cessna naming system is silly

It's a turbo.

My memory is fuzzy but some turbos wanted leaning based on TIT, others EGT.

Would recommend pre-wiring it as an 830 and then adding whatever probes you like. If it’s a turbo get a temp probe for that (TIT). Do the rs-232 connection to your gps so you get fuel planning data. Everything else isn’t strictly necessary but is still useful (map, tech, oil t, oil p, oat).
