Question Which Gauges are most important?

I am thinking of getting an a-pillar 2 gauge pod to fit to my 05 STi. The car has a PPP and will be getting an uprated panel filter, 3 port boost solenoid and a Bob Rawle remap in July.

I definitely want a boost gauge, but which other gauge would be most useful to have?

Oil Pressure: tells you if the oil is under enough pressure to pump around, gives MUCH earlier warning of a problem than the oil light.

Oil Temperature: gives you info as to when the OIL is hot enough to give the car some beans, which is NOT the same as when the WATER is hot.

Water temp as the standard gauge is crap! my car was showing 110c on the apexi commander and the gauge had not moved from its normal position, which is around 82c on the commander.

Get a 3 guage holder for the top of the dash instead of the A pillar pod, then get a Boost pressure, Oil temp, and Oil pressure

Better that the car's gauge reads low, than high
