Oil Pressure gauge??!!

hey guys...
how important is an Oil pressure gauge?
in preparation for my stroker and bigger turbo...i am shopping for gauges as we speak and i am left with enough budget to get either the Defi Oil Pressure gauge or the Innovate wideband airfuel gauge...
??

which one of those is more important..??

thanks

IMO, A Oil Pressure Gauge is just as important as a wideband gauge. I think Boost, Oil Press, and Wideband are the three much needed gauges. At least if you loose oil press and notice it right away and kill the engine you 'may' save yourself more of a headache then not knowing and taking out the engine and turbo from oil starvation.

I agree, Oil pressure is just as important as wideband.

I run boost, oil press, water temp, wideband

It will work, as long as you have this guy:

And you will have to do an oil change, unless you are are ninja quick with that bolt.
