Post Difference between Fuel Presure and Oil Temp Gauge

I am having difficulty in deciding weather to get Oil temp gauge or Fuel Pressure gauge? Can someone please explain which is more benificial? is there a huge cost difference?

I was thinking fo getting the Apexi gauges....

Thanks
Sam

I'd go for oil temp gauge as it's a good sign if something is wrong with the mechanical side of the engine - although I've got both...

Also lets you know when the engine is really hot and not a good idea to can the **** off her (as more likely to get det).

I have a Apexi FC Commander int he car as well...which is quite a good monitoring tool..though it does not show the oil temp!

Okay...so the oil Temp tell me the oil Temperature of the car .how about the the fuel pressure? is that of any importance?

Reason for going for two gauges and not 3 is as i have the following on my dash:
Apexi Fc Comander, Blitz DC II Turbo Timer, Blitz ID Meter, and my XDA for navigation. Also have two gauges, Boost and oil temp (not connected or working) and was looking to change to a newer pair...

...and was thinking that 3 pods may be bit of an overkill...?

The SPA gauges look very nice and the site doesn't do them any justice. I fitted one (bottom right) and sprayed the surround to match my other gauge.
