On an FD which additional gauges would you guys add?

I know a decent boost gauge is needed, but what order of importance would you put things like oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, F:A mix gauges in.

thanks for your input

If you want the ones that are most important go with oil press, oil temp, water temp. As long as you are tuned good you shouldnt need Air/Fuel although it wouldnt hurt. Basically everything you listed is on track with what you need.

I would keep IanS's list but put the water temp gauge first.

Only do the A/F gauge if you're going to use a wideband sensor.

Personally, I'd go with a 2 gauge pod. One for a dedicated boost controller, and an electronic gauge with sensors for everything mentioned. Much cleaner and if you can afford to maintain a FD, price shouldn't be a problem.
