Default Gauges

I am having my vortech SC kit installed this week and am about to order 3 defi bf series gauges and control unit.
Apart from the boost gauge what other 2 would you all think is the most important?
I am thinking the oil pressure and fuel gauge.
Thanks!

My vote would be oil pressure and EGT or oil pressure and coolant temp.

Honestly, if you getting anything that uses forced induction, its always good to get a boost guage first and fore most. Then, oil temp and oil pressure.

(this comming from a turbo background)

Don't know why you'd want a fuel gauge. We already have one.

ps. Moving to S2000 Talk. When you want to know how to put those gauges in, come on back to UTH.

boost, a/f, then something else...

But I'm not a fan of guages really, I don't think I'd even bother with a psi guage if I was lucky enough to get a vortech.

I don't even bother looking at the speedo.

I recommend, a wideband A/F, Oil Psi and on a SC app boost gauge isn't THAT important.

Give a consideration to this gauge:
