Thanks for the pics. I see you have two gauges in the pod and then a seperate on the dash. Ireally wanted to stay with 2 gauges for the cosmetic factor but i am also concerned about knowing if there is an issue before major damage occurs......That being said, not from a tuning perspective but saftey(monitoring) perspective what two(if only two) should be at the top of my list.
Sorry to keep posing the same question, i was just under the initial impression that a wideband O2 is important for tuning, but monitoring oil pressure on a daily basis would be more beneficial.
Thanks

Or if you have an AEM EMS you can go serial data stream gauge from AEM that can monitor up to 19 different systems.. I plan on going with one if I go AEM EMS. I am not one for a lof of clutter so one gauge sounds appealing. The only downfall is having to flip to different inputs constantly. I mainly only want AFR and Boost.

I think the AEMs are amongst the cleanest.
For the OP, I ask a similar question before and some have told me that the boost and EGT is a good combo. Boost for already said reasons. I've also been told that the Wide band is mostly used when (fine) tuning also. So the Exhaust Gas Temperature was suggested because you can tell if you're lean or rich by temps too.
That being said, I ordered the boost and EGT Autometer NEXUS gauges. They have a black face similar to the Defi except you can choose between a rainbow of colors on the fly, kinda cool.

sorry a little off topic, TheCarguy2021, I really like your setup with the dashboard bracket. How did you mount that? I just ordered a 4" bracket from Modifry for the same purpose-gaug(s)
