Default What gauges should i get

Ok i'm trying to figure out what gauges i'm gonna need/like to have in my CRX with B18C1. So far I've got your standard issue ricer tach/shift light to start with. I'm thinking Air/fuel, oil pressure, oil temp, gonna rig up some sort of knock alarm system. Anything i'm missing? Is an EGT overkill unless i'm runing turbo? And does anyone know if the vtec oil pressure is just a switch or an actuall sender?
Thanks a bunch

air/fuel is a waste of money unless you are using a wideband o2. EGT would be your best alternative.

Go here to read up on how to properly understand how the EGT works:

no a/f without wideband o2. Just useless and bounces around not helping you.

i think the best air/fuel out there besides the motec unit is the greddy warning one...

comes with it's own oxygen sensor and is pretty accurate...
