Hi goin to buy 3 Prosport Gauges wondered which 3 are the best to get ? was thinking Boost,Oil Pressure,AFR ? is the AFR gauge worth having ?

Some will say that oil temp or other info is more useful than a narrowband AFR.

Ideally you will need a 10 gauge pod to cover all the pockets

Boost, oil pressure and temperature

As above ^^^.

These will be the 'engine savers' more than any - so long as you're reactive to any dodgy readings.....

Depending on your spec, a boost gauge is more than enough tbh. Accuracy can be hit and miss and if you need to rely on gauges I would spend some proper money. If you want pretty lights boost/water/oil are most popular.

Celcius for temp, as for pressures go with water you're happiest with. I prefer bar but it is down to choice and whether you are happy with the conversion factor

I'd say boost, oil temp and wideband AFR (or even EGT) myself.

If you're "giving it some" and something happens to oil pressure so it ends up low, your engine is most likely done for anyway. EGT or AFR on the other hand can be used to catch e.g. a failing injector etc, which might not otherwise be visible until rebuild time.


Edit: if you can have more than three gauges, however, then by all means get oil pressure too
