NA Gauges for streeported S5

First of all...please don't shoot me...I searched because I know at one time I saw a thread for this.

I finally have the streetported vert running again and I would like to buy an SAFC and tune it. I'm already planning to buy a wideband and oil pressure gauge. Any other suggestions for this car? It also has a custom exhaust that was on the car when it was purchased and the car is currently running rich.

Thanks!

Well, the gauges I like to have are;

Oil Pressure
Oil Temp
Engine Temp
Fuel Pressure
WBO2
EGT

It also has a custom exhaust that was on the car when it was purchased and the car is currently running rich.
How do you know its running rich while under WOT? Running rich at idle is a completly different situation then at WOT. Idle does like to run rich but that doesn't mean your not running lean up top. What does your exhaust consist of?

I my self have a SAFC. I like it, I have gained many ponies road tuning it for the past 4 months, but I have to say that its only good for the temp range you tune it in. What I mean is, when the IAT gets colder or warmer, you loose ponies. If I tuned mine for 50-60*F weather like I did, any colder or warmer I loose a fair amount. It seems the stock ECU doesn't compensate very well for the IAT.
