that all depends on the mods you have on your vehicle. An EGT gauge is useful too.

Definitely get an oil pressure gauge, and a wide band.

I have boost, oil press/temp and I'm looking to buy a wideband now.

Boost / EGT / Oil Pressure / Wideband O2.

Those would be the most important gauges to have.

i have a Pyrometer (exhaust temp.), it's nice to know when my header is baking.. plus i use it as a gauge of when it's ok to turn off my car so i don't harm my turbo. pretty easy to install too, just weld a donut in ur manifold. one day i'll take the plunge and buy a turbo-timer, but until then i'll just hang out in my car while it cools =)



as for the picture above.. oh no! nitrous at zero!

I am wondering why Oil Pressure is recommended as an important gauge? I understand Boost , Wideband and EGT for tuning purposes.

But oil pressure isn't easily adjustable, so I assume its purely an extra monitor for engine safety. Isn't the ECU already monitoring this for me anyways? Hopefully someone can educate me.
