My car is similar to the OPs, in that other than a cat-back and intake, it is essentially stock. Other than some Autocross, it is just a weekend fun car.

When I bought the car, it had a tri-pod in the center speaker location. In it are boost, water temp, and oil pressure. I actually like the oil pressure gauge now because my stock sending unit is faulty. When the stock oil pressure shows 0 it is nice to decent pressure on te other gauge. I'll replace the sending unit sometime and the extra pressure gauge will be a waste of space.

For me, I only want/need the boost and water temp. If I wanted to do the linearization mod then I wouldn't need the water temp. So for the OP, Boost and water temp are good. Anything else would be just for fun and entertainment.

I dont have an issue with Gauges as long as they serve a true purpose, not just look at me in my Honda 1500cc and i have a massive taco and gauges but i can only get to 100km in 10mins, i'm bad ****. thats crap but cause we own Rotas then gauges are all good we need them to make sure our engines are running as they should, personally i am going for Boost, Water Temp, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp. Not everyone can afford a Power FC tho i have one :P but i dont always want the commander connected as it could be a toy someone might F with when i am not looking. Personal choice really like me having the Austin powers **** covers on my car seats haha, Oh and it's only Rice if it's like a standard car made out to be something its not isn't like a 1500cc Honda made out to be a Type R.... either way i will smoke them all mUahahaha
