I would recommend EGT, oil pressure and oil temp as the main 3 if your have room for more boost and afr are great too. Most would say boost in their top 3 but the three i stated are my tops.

you almost don't need the boost guage for monitoring performance.

i'd go with
oil temp
EGT
and something else (i picked boost :P )

I went with EGT, Boost, and Oil Temp.


Wideband O2 Sensors are too expensive.

What about AFR??? Isn't that much more important than EGT???(especially with FI)

From what i've been told Wideband AFR is pretty expensive. I think there are some good narrowband AFR guages, but they are also expensive. EGT is the cheaper way of doing things.
