Default In addition to boost gauge, what other...

I'm after genuine recommendations on what gauges to purchase in addition to boost pressure. There are another 2 slots to fill in my tri-gauge holder:

- Exhuast temp
- Water temp
- Oil pressure
- Oil temp
- Fuel pressure

???

What is most useful?

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers.
Ed

Can't you just use 2 gauges and then use the 3rd slot as a cup holder ?

Move the boost gauge onto the A pillar, and stick Oil Press, Fuel Press and Oil Temp in the holder....

in terms of 2-3 gauges, does a low-mildly modded car 'need' the same gauges as one with a bit more mods?

Any car can lose oil/fuel pressure and overheat oil/water, having gauges (especially one's with warning lights/buzzers) can help spot it and you can shut down before it's terminal. They become more important the more you modify and lean on the cars components.

My 2c..
