EGT, it is going to tell you more about what state of tune your motor is in and if you are in danger of damaging something.

EGT is useful for doing your fuel tuning.
Water is good to tell you if you're overheating, but you can use the stock dummy gauge for the time being.

What is this crap?

Chances are you wont ever use your water temp unless something big happens.
after noticing abnormally high EGTs at part throttle on Art's car, i was able to confirm the lean condition with his hondata datalogger. there is a DIRECT coorelation to the a/f ratio and EGTs. i saw it with my own eyes finally.

I vote for EGT as well.
How important is in cabin fuel and oil pressure gauges? I'd rather not use them, but if it's a good idea I suppose I will...

wow, I am very convinced now... thanks... .. usually when I ask for opinion, I get a million of them all telling one thing, while somebody suggest something else... while somebody else besides that says sometihng else.... 
But this time... EVERYBODY said EGT... this is the way it should be...
