ok i'll probably get a/f, oil press. and boost. i LOVE the Blitz BLM (blacklight meter) gauges but it looks like the boost one only comes in bar, not psi

Fuel pressure gauge can stay onder the hood. So it won't take up any in car space. EGT is nice but not necessary if you have an AFR gauge IMHO. oil pressure and boost with a wideband and yo uare good to go. And no your exhasut gases temperature won't give you any info on what your intake (intercooler) temperatures are doing.

EGT=Exhaust Gas Temperature. It measures the combustion characteristics of your engine. Your timing and afr both affect the EGT. Wideband A/F would be cheaper as good pyrometers are more expensive.
