air fuel guage is not worth it unless you have a wideband air fuel meter. with stock narrowband it will just be all over the place and not useful at all.

I had an AutoMeter sport comp electrical oil pressure gauge in my civic when I was turbo.

It worked perfectly for me. Oil pressure is a good thing to keep an eye on. I don't think I'd use one with an NA engine, but for boost there are a lot more oil leaks that can develop and you don't want to burn your turbo up because you didn't notice that your oil pressure dropped.

P.S. Here's a good reason to go with electronic over mechanical: https://honda-tech.com/zero...64216

P.P.S. I'm selling my SportComp electronic oil pressure gauge.
