Default Simple Gauge Types

So to start off i have a Ap2 w/ Single Megan Racing Exhaust w/ Invidia Test Pipe,
Injen Cold Air Intake and a 4-2-1 header i got of ebay but my friend swore to me it gets the job done, he was still using his when he got his s2k to 496 hp. I am getting EMS or Hondata soon to tie everything together and get some power.
please no comments about the opinion of where i got the header

Now here is the real issue.
Im looking to get a gauge to give me simple readings for my car.
I do am not FI yet but im looking to go Supercharged in a year or so, and like i said im not looking for multiple gauges right now im looking for ONE gauge to show me more standard info such as; Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Voltage, and maybe even miles MPG But not necessary. This is just because i would like to just mantain my car the way she deserves. Nothing flashy...
But as i mentioned i do have several mods and am planning to get tuned in the next month, is there any suggestions??
I already have a A/F Wideband
I already have a 58MM spot cut out of my left bezel (spare part i baught) where the Audio Control was so this seems like the most reasonable choice

I like this one because it can show me all what i want in a simple, small clean gauge, true it wont give me a warning light but its up to me to keep it in check, and primarily again it is nice and discrete and will fit in my bezel. But some complain that it just displays the number, not actually gauging a "Red Zone" but i figure i can remember the basic numbers very easily.

But i recently i found another one which i like because it has most of what i need besides the Voltage but it does have time attack mode, for 1/4 miles etc and it seems to have a rev limit built in i believe. But it wont fit in my bezel and doesnt look as clean but better than the informeter touch. (I have a Wideband AF inn my radio cover door and still stock radio cover so i could move that to the bezel if i went with this and replace the cover without a whole cut.

And ofcourse i can go with the greddy which many of you know of us but i dont like to much as it is bulky and displays alot of uneccesary stuff which already displays things we are being told. BUT im just giving it as an example for what type i would be looking for if not a single gauge. But defiantly not as bulky as this one.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT3aRjrN45E [/media]
This is one of my last interior mods so some help would be nice.
-Thanks in Advance, NIck

All you really need are boost, oil pressure and wideband I would say. Oil temp or water temp could help as well depending on how much you track it etc.
Are you supercharged or turbo?

Neither yet but im going to be going Supercharged, and like i said im not looking for multiple gauges im looking for ONE gauge to show me more of the OEM info ex: Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Voltage, MPG (which is why im leaning to the PLX choice one) and any other basic ones that i would like to just mantain my car

And honestly disregard the Infometer Touch as it displays although some useful things, it repeats what we see looking at our gauge cluster for the most part. Im just looking to monitor the listed above as basic features to take care of the car. I already have a 58MM spot cut out of my bezel for a multi gauge to monitor them with PLX.

My supercharged S has a Zeitronix multi-gauge. Mine is the red digital/black bezel and looks pretty clean/stockish.
