Gauges help

I only have a boost gauge on my evo 8, I know I need air/fuel gauge but what else do I really need? I just want to have the most gauge as I need. I have seen so many evos with single other type gauge with no boost gauge. And many evo with too many guages. Well I am deaf and I can't hear if anything wrong with engine, perhaps gauge will help? So what else do I need for my evo?

when ou say turbo gauge I guess you're talking about a boost gauge, you need:
Boost/Wideband/oil pressure

boost gauge and wideband are great to have. Oil Pressure gauge would be a great addition

Personally, I'd go oil temp over oil pressure.

Boost and Air/fuel are most important two

You want a wideband not an air/fuel gauge.

Since you arent avle to hear, you might consider looking into gauges with built-in warning lights. Longacre makes some pretty good looking gauges with programmable lights.

Alternatively you can mount your gauges above the steering wheel with a dual pod so you'll be able to see them in which case warning lights probably won't be necessary.
