Default Which two gauges would you add to your n/a civic????

So I got a bezel gauge pod cause I wanted an A/F gauge cause I like how they look. I know they are innacurate and all but it is just for appearance basically. So I have one hole left to fill and not sure which gauge I should put in. I was thinking water temp or maybe getting a N20 pressure cause I might go on the bottle eventually.

What gauge would you get? What should be monitored that isn't already by the cluster. I'm going to fill the hole with an autometer phantom boost gauge since I have one handy but that is just too cheesy for me to keep without actuall boost. Want to stick with autometer phantoms cause I like how they look and are inexpensive.

EGT its not very showy, but unlike the A/F it would provide some useful info. Although on a stock motor, what is there to monitor? Perhaps Water Temp if you ever take it to the road course.

In my opinion the oil pressure guage has to be the most important guage you can ever have, I think every car should come standard with a nice one.

Hmmm, actually. Already have the DVD setup. Was one of the first things I did to the car since I had one. And I did play 2f2f at one show just because it had just came out in theaters and many people hadn't seen it yet. But besides that those movies bother me because of all the wrong they have brought upon the import scene.
