Lightbulb What guages do i need for my setup?

Currently nothing is installed yet on my 87tII. I'm just purchasing what i need first, because i haven't had time to work on my project. So far its gonna have:

s5 Hybrid Knight sport turbo
Greddy fmic w/ greddy bov
Walbro fuel pump
550/720s
Rtek 1.7
3" downpipe
rb presilencer
apex n1 single
koyo rad

I think thats it. I need to know what gauge i really need and maybe help me decide on a electronic boost controller or a manual. This will be a weekend or maybe daily driven car. If you think I'm missing anything that i may need to get let me know.

I would assume that before any modifications are made- A boost gauge is in order. People seem to have a preference of EGT/ or wideband, most dont need a wideband, but if you feel you do- the EGT isnt necessary- of course this is opinionated. I would assume- boost/ ( egt or wideband)/ oil temp/ oil pressure/ fuel pressure/ water temp. Thats six, There are more you "can" have but recommend at least boost/ egt-wideband/ water temp.
I would like to know more about this stack?

So boost, egt/wideband, and water temp best suits my needs

egt is more important to know about your engines running condition...

boost > egt > afr > oiltemp> watertemp...

i've got all five to be on the safe side...

better invest some xxx$ more on QUALITY gauges then on a rebuild ^^
