To ensure that Mrs Santa gets me the right ones, which gauges are most important?

My car is a UK00 with PPP, full Scoobysport decat exhaust and ITG panel filter, but I'm thinking about some serious upgrades next year, to 330-plus bhp

So, what's the order of priority?

1) Boost
2) Oil temp
3) Oil pressure
4) Water temp
5) Exhaust temp
6) Knock sensor
7) Inlet temp
8) Inlet pressure
9) ?
10)?

Thanks

Hi Hoppy
Mine is also MY2000 PPP and I am waiting for my new exhaust manifold and downpipe.
After conversations with the local Subaru service I decided to fit a dual boost/EGT (exhaust gas temp) gauge to monitoring the mixture from the increase in exhaust gas temp as the lamdalink sensor isn't accurate in high temperatures. A knocklink sensor also, just in case, and maybe a dual oil/water temp gauge in the future.
Although I an interesting for the answers to your question!

Hoppy,

see my guide for my thoughts on what to measure, and how to measure 'em.

Nick, brilliant answer (as usual) I forgot about your site. It's all on there. Cheers
