Default Which gauges are most important?

Was going to buy the SOS gauge pod and wanted to know which gauges to buy? Boost/ afr/ oil pressure etc... its only a dual pod tho so I'm not sure what the most important ones would be... or what other pods are out there that will allow me to see more of whats going on... sorry im a noob...but trying to learn!

I have an sos charger btw

Wideband a/f and boost. You could also do a multi-gauge which displays more than one value.

I would suggest the AEM Wideband Failsafe gauge, as it is one gauge that clearly and simultaneously displays AFR and boost. It also has data logging capabilities.

depending on how you planning on driving. I personally feel oil temp is quite important and often over looked.

I have a AEM EMS V2 on a P-TUning kit and run the same SOS dual pillar pod with a AEM AFR and AEM Digital Boost guage. BUT... If i was to do it all over again I would get a Stack Gauge and replace the cluster and have every guage direct off the dash display. At min. just get a serial gauge and oil pressure guage too.

Hmm.. Well I mostly use my car as a WW/Car cruises/LIGHT track duty. That Failsafe looks awesome tho... I'm just not sure what would best suit me!

Failsafe + oil temp? OR A/F + Boost ....If someone can link me with gauges I SHOULD have ( and with a low price) I'd appreciate it

See that's the thing... Why spend money on an A/F gauge and money on a boost gauge when you can combine that money, get one gauge in the Wideband Failsafe, and have the open pillar spot for another useful gauge??? Or just rock a single gauge pillar pod like me!

I use my phone and Torque Pro to monitor other OBD2 sensors, etc.
