Oil Pressure Gauge

How needed is an oil pressure gauge on the FD? I have a wideband, boost and oil temp gauges ATM in a 3 gauge holder (I read water temp on the PFC). I am considering adding an oil pressure gauge now that I'm doing more tracking and running it with the boost and oil temp in the 3 gauge holder and moving the wideband to the glovebox and only really use it for tuning runs.

ideas? should I just stay the way I am, or get a pressure gauge as well. Dont tell me to get a water temp gauge because I won't. I use the full screen readout when I'm driving on the PFC.

Everyone will tell you it is very very rare for an FD to loose oil pressure. It is rare, but it happened to me. If it were me I would get it.

Just my .02 though

Ya, that's what I've been thinking. My old car... a Skyline was known to loose pressure in the corners and it had a very low oil pan. My car scraped all over so just to be safe I had a pressure gauge. Do you know if the stock oil pressure gauge has a warning light when you loose pressure?

The pressure gauge has a warning light for oil level only.
