Default Going FI: what gauges do I need?

I apologize if this is a repost, but the search wasn't helpful.

I recently purchased a comptech w/ aftercooler. I also got the AEM EMS just to make sure everything is fine. I now need gauges before I install everything. I know the first thing is to buy a boost gauge but after that I dont know which readings are most important. What other gauges should I purchase? Thx for any replies

Those two first gauges have some pretty neat faces. What kind are they and where did you get them?

On a side note...where did you get the golf kart drifting clip in your sig? Thats friggin awesome! I must have watched that 10 times in a row.

Those are Defi BF gauges.

They're pretty and pricey

I have the same question for NA guages what choices would be best to make sure the engine is within its safe limits?

Try the spa gauges, They are digital to match the interior and each gauge displays 2 parameters to save space.

These were actually the same guages that I was considering. I'm just not sure which would ultimately be the most valuable to have on an NA engine.

Although I suppose with 2 spa guages reading 4 systems it would cover just about everything.
