Boost and air/fuel at a minimum. Real water temp is good if you have the space.

yup yup.
when going forced induction, boost gauge and A/F gauge are critical. then, fuel pressure.

last is exhaust gas temperature.

yeah boost and air/fuel....

but when going with a air/fuel, if you have the money get the wide band....the one from AEM its the cheapest one i could find, for like 300,
the other ones that are not wideband are just a light show, they are ok if you are not going to be running a s/c....but this is just my 2 cents, a

Don't waste money on a narrow band A/F. No value whatsoever.

1. boost
2. A/F ratio ( AEM UEGO kit is a wideband and very accurate )
3. Fuel pressure.

All you want is a Boost Gauge and an Electronic Fuel Pressure gauge.

The Autometer A/F gauges are extremely inaccurate. If you want to know wideband info, you have to go with something like an LM-1.
