[lan evo]

what is the normal operating water temperature?

175f to 195f / 80c to 90c

is it important to monitor such?

whats the drawback of not having it?

yup 80c-90c for water and 90c-100c for oil .. this is wat i was told

is it the same as tempreture meter on our dashboard?..
what might be the difference and is it necessary for a water temp?

Gibod..Temp meter on our dash is not accurate and does not show immediate fluctuations. Aftermarket item are more accurate and shows immediate changes in your engine. Sayyy you mod something and temp goes up or something wrong and temp goes up... end of the day its safety, especially when you have heavy mods.
