3 Most Vital Gauges?

If you could have only 3 gauges in your evo (no engine mods other than an exhaust), what would you choose?

you guys are all aholes

For real, Pick 3 or just do all 4:
1. Boost Gauge.
2. Exhaust Gas Temp (only if you plan on a new tune).
3. Oil Pressure
4. A/f Ratio

Maybe what was suggested in the thread titled, "Advice on which 3 gauges to use" started two days ago:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ight=gauges%22

But I vote for:
outside air temp (hey, good to know the temp outside)
direction, i.e. compass (in case you get lost)
battery voltage (it would suck if your altenator died and you didn't know)

2. Wideband
3. Oil Pressure
4. EGT
