Most usefull gauges?

I will be installing only two gauges on my evo. One of them will be boost and I am still debating what would be the best choice for the second gauge. My car will only have TBE, MBC (22 psi on 93 octane), Walbro, Filter, LICP and Tune. Which gauge will give the most usefull information?

Zeitronix ZT-2. It makes your decision really simple since it does it all.

I think one of the most useful one is the EGT but it is a little bit harder to install since you may need to remove the exhaust manifold to install it safely:

EGT can catch
- Lean Condition
- Bad Timing
- Exhaust Valve Temperature
- I can’t think of anything else


A little easier to install since I am installing a new 3” downpipe is:
Wideband catch:
- Air/Fuel Mixture (lean or Rich very accurate)
- I can’t think of anything else

6" tach with a 50 watt red shift light (minimum 10 hp gain) everyone above pretty much summed it up...
