Default essential gauges

for those of you that have gauges in your car, which do you think are essential and why? i know boost is esssential (duh) cuz you need to know how much boost you're making but what other ones would you deem necessary to have? oil pressure? fuel pressure? fuel temperature? a/f? cuz i am looking for a 2nd gauge to go into the instrument gauge cluster bezel when i get it.

Mine are boost, EGT, Air/Fuel, Oil pressure and Fuel pressure.
IMO all are important, but I would say EGT and Fuel pressure are good to have on top of boost if you are only to purchase a couple additional gauges.
Try to stick with Greddy or Blitz over autometer as much as possible if affordable.

A little OT here but is it possible that Autometer boost gauges could be inaccurate in reading boost???
When my car was SC'd, my boost gauge would read a 8.5lbs on the Autometer
