what 3 gauges are you using (not company)

1st off sorry if this is a repost ... but when i searched all i found was stuff about which brand was the best.

2nd my question:

i'm about to get 3 gauges to fill the missing void i have where my deck was... what 3 gauges would you suggest?

My current mods are:
Injen intake,
Invidia TBE w/o cat
and an Exedy Twin-disc

Next mods:
MBC
Reflash

next after that:
Cams, Cam Gears, etc etc.


i understand without question one of them needs to be a boost guage... but what esle should i get..

EGT?, Oil Temp?, Oil Pressure?, Water Temp?

1.boost , 2.air / fuel ratio (wideband)
the third gauge is a toss up
exhaust temp, fuel pressure, manifold pressure, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp

autometer has stages... http://hp.autometer.com/products/pro...solutions.html

i myself took some time to decide this also, i went with a boost gauge and a AEM wideband air/fuel gauge, i say its worth the money. other gauges arent really necessary i think unless you want to monitor everyone or you just want more pizzazz to the interior.

I've got Boost, Volts, Fuel Pressure. I threw the voltmeter in there cause I had it laying around and needed a third gauge to fill the hole in the center console.
