Which Gauges??

I am looking to get some gauges for my 05. I know i should get a exhaust temp and a boost gauge...is there any other important gauge that I should have??
Mind you I have a manual transmission so a transmission temp would be pointless right?

Oil pressure and fuel pressure are kinda important. I also have turbine inlet pressure, oil temp, low oil pressure warning light.... of course I am excessive that way...

Seriously, fuel pressure would be what I'd get next if I were you followed by oil pressure.
I prefer Autometer gauges.

Personally, I think Low and High fuel pressure are important along with Pyro and Boost. I guess if you wanted to be redundant you could install an oil pressure gauge as well. I also like the idea of knowing what Drive pressure is!

Another vote for Fuel Pressure to be your third gauge. I've had good luck with Autometer as well.

Oil psi isn't redundant, the one on your dash is fake...

I run Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure, Rail Pressure, Drive Pressure, and Oil Pressure.

If I only had 3 it would either be Boost, EGT, Fuel or Boost, EGT, Oil.
