generally speaking the three best ones to get in order are boost (obvious), oil pressure (you can get a feel of oil temp with this also) and exhaust temp (give you some indication of afr).

Oil pressure is all well and good,but by the time your oil pressure drops off and the warning light comes on, its game over for your motor.

Oil temp would be more beneficial IMHO.

I got one of these and it tells you everything you NEED to know about your engine.

Knowing your oil temp and pressure is only good if you have a built motor and/or do regular track work.

I got my pod from Troy at Pro Speed, same colour as the factory dash no painting required and comes with the clips built in so will clip right into the holes when you take the clock out. Got the gauges from Wei at Vison R and the boys at Allstar fitted them.

Happy Days!!
