The boost is a must. After that, wideband, or EGT. You'll want to know what's going on inside that engine of yours.

Just get a boost gauge (need it to dial in the mbc properly) and a LC-1 (wideband) and log it through evoscan, no need for a gauge because 20 bucks after a good pull someone asks you what your afr was you will say I dunno? because you weren't staring at the wideband gauge driving at x speed.

But logging it allows you to go back after a pull and go ahh thats what my afr was...

And unless your racing it constantly...you don't really need any other gauges unless you like having a light up show across your dash.

I'm not so sure that wideband gauge itself is that terribly useful...as someone mentioned above you won't be looking at that while driving all too much. You just really need the functionality for logging. Other than that I'd say boost, egt, oil pressure, fuel pressure...

oil temp, oil pressure, and if you have room for a 3rd gauge, get an AFR...

those are life savers... for me at least

I have...

1. Boost
2. Oil Pressure
3. EGT

I don't have a wideband yet, but I plan on getting one very soon. IMO, a wideband is one of the most important you can get.
