Which gauge to buy?

Guys I want to buy 5 gauges for my car. Since I will be buying a Power FC I don't think I need that many gauges but won't hurt either. So far I decided which 4 gauges to buy but need reccomendations on the final gauge. From what I can see in my forum search, water temp gauge seems to be popular but I'm not sure. Which gauge should I buy for 5th gauge?

1- Boost (in centre console)
2- Wideband (in centre console)
3- EGT (in DIN)
4- EGT (in DIN)
5- ??????? (in DIN)

boost, and wideband, then get one dual egt, then read how to make it log-able, howard coleman has a thread with the info

then oil temp, and... why 5 guages? if you have/want a meth kit look into something like the cmgs controller
linearize your factory water temp gauge
fuel pressure maybe? 5 is a lot if you have a PFC which allows you to monitor max boost, water temp, intake temp, and the factory oil pressure gauge is sufficient, but if you want something else, knock yourself out

well I would definitely run a fuel pressure gauge on a boosted car. It can easily help you identify if you are having problems under full boost.

my set up is going to be, in the center a digital MPH and RPM gauge and on my left side colum thing ( i dont know what that area would be called) a Fuel/air ratio and a AEM wideband. I already have a power fc set up so i get water temp, air temp, inject duty etc.

Thanks guys. I don't like the look of the dual display EGT gauge so I'll probably buy 2 EGT gauges. I also prefer dual centre pod over triple centre pod. This leaves room one one more gauge only. I guess I'll have to choose between oil temp and water temp.
