Help: Which gauges?

So Ive done some reasearch, and now am totaly confused.
SOme say Exhaust temp,s some say Oil temps ( Although thats in the cluster already..?) other think water termp and exhaust temp and blah blah blah.

Im getting a single pod steering column and installing my boost gauge in there. I also plan on a trippler A-piller, but unsure hich gauges I really need? I know thw Wideband is one, but what else is the most important?

I dont want to have 1-2390912432 gauges like civics, and esp not a huge tach...

Help me out guys! Im in the market for this, and want it bad.. plus, low on cash, so as cheap as possible.. hehe

Thanks for the help in advancce!

Alright, I will look into it.

What brand do You reccomend?

I think Ill go Boost, Wideband 02 ( prolly AEM), Oil Press., and Exhaust temp ( EGT).
Seeing as i drive rather hard, nd race a lot, I will need those the most

What brand though? I dont want to mix and match, and would Like to keep them the same, with an exception for the AEM wideband.

have had Stewart Warner gauges my whole cars live they work great.. and aren't too expensive.. besides that defi, greddy, are good, just get mechanical gauges personally I don't trust electronic gauges.
for wideband definitely go with AEM
