    Can someone please suggest which gauges are the most important to get?

    I'm already have the boost gauge.
    And plan to get a/f.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The order of importance (according to JRCivic, which I happened to agree 100% with him) for gauges are (from most to least):

    -EGT or A/F
    -Fuel Pressure (B&M mount inside engine bay for tuning and one inside car to monitor.
    -Boost

    Yeah, fuel pressure is a good one.,. A/f is good... boost of course and EGT is good to monitor longterm cruising heat characteristics cause by your timing...

    Important gauges to have are boost, air/fuel, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and I think a Apex SAFC. I have a B18B1 Teg and 9psi supercharger and was going to get my valves adjusted when my car died right on a main highway. My friend who works on my car took the valve cover off and my exhaust cam on three of its cam lobes was bone dry. No oil at all! My dipstick read full oil. So now my cars back in the shop. the gauges I don't have is oil and fuel pressure and now I'll have 'em. I can't stress enough how important proper monitoring of engine and all it's vitals is. Never rely on stock gauges. frown mad eek
