Which gauges are most important?

I saw this on another gauge thread. This is the route I am going with along with a SOS single gauge pod. There are so many options you can do with these gauges and up to four readings at once. Also, they have different screen layouts, even one that matches our tach. They have wideband and "daisy" chainable sensor units all for one gauge.

I'm actually quite surprised as well. Personally I have boost, oil temp, oil pressure and AFR. Here is my setup (the AFR gauge is placed where the red circle is, angled towards the driver spot):

as many have posted. IMO afr/oil pressure are the important ones.

bad picture but afr is in the radio door, boost/oil pressure/water temp in the dash.

Oil pressure is great but it's usually too late once you realize you lost oil pressure, hard to keep an eye on it all the time. Honestly I rarely look at mine. I'd put it behind boost and AFR on my list.

I have mine wired to a set minimum then it starts blinking. So it's not too late

You can put a boost cut into your ecu as well as a oil pressure cut. Only way to go in my opinion

What is your minimum setting, if you don't mind sharing?

An alarm type of gauge is good or a passive cut type would be best for oil pressure like you said redboost.

I'm going to be working on configuring outputs to trigger cuts for my advanced warning system in my ios app. Overboost, low oil pressure, over temp, lean protection, etc
