I have Defi D-series boost, EGT, and oil pressure. From what researched, those 3 were the important ones.

the aem uego a/f is one of the most important guages to tune a turbo car, that as well as boost. egt can only tell you if you are running rich or lean but it can tell you how rich or how lean

if you have a wideband A/F guage an EGT guage is not necessary. A wideband O2 sensor is the ONLY way you should tune a turbo car. If you Rely on oil temp, EGT, or a narrowband A/F guage bad things will happen.

The three best guages you can put in your car are oil pressure, boost and a wideband A/F guage

out of those 3 I would ditch the autometer A/F it reads off the stock O2 sensor and it is highly inaccurate.
