hopefully your thinking of going with an AEM or PLX wideband A/F gauge. the autometers are narrowband and read off of the stock o2.
i'd run exactly those, boost pressure, oil pressure, and wideband A/F display.

In order of importance:
1. Boost
2. Oil Pressure
3. Egt
I run Defi guages along with a PLX M-300 wide band

lol, I guess that was kinda rude.
I really think EGT is near useless, IMO afr is the most important.

I can agree with that. If you have the $$$ for a wide band then EGT is not nearly as important .... I added the WB a while after the guages.
But when running without a WB an EGT guage can let you know if you start running dangerously lean in time to save your motor.

Zeitronix Display! 4 readings in 1. I would say EGT gauge is very important. The bolts to my turbo kept coming loose cause my EGTs were too high. Every couple of weeks I was loosing bolts. I added timing which brought the EGTs down and since then I never had that problem again. If I had no EGT reading I probably would have never figured out the problem. So I'll give the EGT gauge a BIG from experience!

Re: which guages are you guys running with? (FullThrottleEm1)
wo, so if I have a PLX wideband and run the signal wire to an autometer gauge will it work fine?
