What do you guys think the 2 most essentail gauges are for going from N/A to turbo?(besides boost,water temp, oil temp, and oil press.)

 

EGT.

 

Word. It's one of the quickest ways to tell if your tune is about to blow your engine.

 

I'd also throw a wideband gauge in there as well - equally as important as the EGT.

 

By wideband do you mean AIR/FUEL ratio or the zeitronix wideband thingy the RRM sells?

 

Yup. Either Z-tronix or AEM. They're expensive, but worth it.

 

I would consider boost and EGT gauges essential. Then wideband A/F and oil pressure/temp. There's nothing wrong with the stock water temp gauge, so unless you're just looking to fill a vacant spot in a gauge panel, you don't need to add one.

 

Id agree on the EGT and Wideband.... Aftermarket Temp guages are usually quite inaccurate unless you spend some good coin...

 

Exactly the order I would consider.
