boost wideband oil pressure and egt if you want it. def boost and wideband first esp with your mods.

to above poster: you are right oil is monitored and not easily adjustable. however, unlike most cars, the evo does not have an oil pressure gauge stock. so yes, it is a extra safety mechanism. i have seen an oil leak right after a change. luckily, saw the oil on the ground before any damage was done. but had there been a oil pressure gauge, would have seen that pressure wasnt building and immediately killed the ignition. that engine almost seized up and went bye bye. its all about preference, mods, and what you will be doing with the car.

I personally would pick a wideband over an EGT. Otherwise I'd go with a wideband, oil pressure, and boost.

EGT's can tell you just as much as a wideband

Oil pressure is just an added security gauge to let you know if the motor is running correctly. all i have is boost and oil pressure for now. looking for wideband o2 i future hope soon

Are you telling me that an EGT can tell me the exact AFR that I am running like a wideband???

I say boost, afr, EGT, and oil pressure are the ones you really need. Fuel pressure could help too.

None! But I have a boost gauge, my wideband is wired directly to my ecu for logging only.
