Whatever suits your tastes, i personally think three gauges is too much for the A- pillar, and besides, those gauges are really important ones, other than the oil temp.

? if you're stock, why do you even need a boost gauge? u need all those things.

boost gauge first. oil pressure next, wideband next, 3 of those are fairely important in most FI cars.

those are your 3 essential daily vitamins for your evo.

My 2 cents, I think the 3 most valuable are boost, oil pressure and oil temp.

1) boost
2) EGT
3) air/fuel
4) oil

Problem is deciding on where you're gonna mount them...
