which gauges

Getting ready to take the X to a few track days this summer. Which gauge is more important an oil pressure or oil temp. I'm getting a boost and air/fuel gauge as well.
I know most will say both but I really do not want more then 3 gauges.

I would personally recommend Oil Pressure over Temp as well.

The pressure will be more important than the temp. Temp is a nice secondary to have, but if you loose pressure things are going wrong

I think pressure is very important but actually might suggest oil temp if on a stock motor. Temp will give you perspective on how the motor and oil is doing and whether things are getting too hot and likely to fail. Pressure will advise you of immediate and catastrophic failure. I don't know, get both.

Defi, and both. I have Boost, Wideband, Oil Pressure, oil Temp and Water Temp...I think they are all important when building a racecar.
