Which 3 gauges?

I'm going to buy the Rexspeed triple gauge pod and have already decided on what brand of gauges. I've searched on the site to find out which 3 gauges I should run with. Didn't find much with the 7000+ threads that come up when you search for anything that has to do with gauges I know the stock Mitsu gauge has boost, oil temp and voltage.

My car is a daily driver and I'll get it out to the track (live 1 hour from VIR) maybe twice a year.

I'll do a boost gauge. What do ya'll recommend for the other two?

Besides Boost and WB O2, I use Oil temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp as I feel they are the most important. HTH

I run boost, oil pressure, and EGT. I would rather have a wideband but at the time they were still pretty expensive and also the EGT matches my other two Defis which match my factory meters almost perfectly.

Funny I had the same question 6 months ago, did a search and found the same in this thread. I find it easier to search keywords in the thread titles only.

BTW if you have to get 3, wideband, boost gauge, oil pressure. If you have an EBC that displays boost, then wideband, oil pressure, oil temp or EGT.

If I had to do over I would go this route. Innvoative wide band o2. Boost through an electronic boost controller, and oil pressure. Right now all I have is a wideband and a boost gauge. Manual boost controllers are nice and reliable though.

The autometer analog clock!! 1 for pacific, 1 for atlantic, and of course japan time so you know your JDM!!! haha

ok like everyone else said.. Wideband 02, boost (of course) and then its up to you.. Oil pressure is nice to know, but so is your egt.. I have 5 gauges (boost,egt,oil press,wideband, and volt( I got it for free so why not)
