Default What should I get?

Besides me purchasing Todd's Stage 2 kit in the near future, what gauges should I get to go along with it? I will be getting the AEM F/IC as well, so I am going to get AEM's UEGO wideband to go along with it.

But what about boost gauges, what good affordable ones are out there?
Oil pressure gauges?
EGT Gauges?

I am also wondering if there is anything else I should run along with that?

I know that Creative compacts has an a-pillar that matches the stock pillar color well, but are there any others? Has anyone purchased the fabric and wrapped theirs to match?

Lastly, what boost controller should I go with? Or should I just get the AEM Truboost and not have to worry about the boost gauge or the controller and have it all in one unit?

Thanks in advance for your input!

EGT and widebands do the same job pretty much. so you're safe without an egt unless you want another monitoring system. if you're running a ball bearing turbo (which the GT3071 is) you will want an oil pressure gauge. if you want a 4th gauge i'd suggest water temp.

I will actually be running the GT3076r... and I was thinking for my three on the a-pillar would be boost, wideband (a/f gauge), and oil... I was also looking at doc I's cubbie whole gauge piece and was going to add an egt there... that way when I arrive at a place I can monitor the egt's until it is safe to turn off my car (a lot cheaper than paying for a turbo timer)

I didn't think about a water temp gauge so I may look into that, thanks syldrin for your input...

i'd suggest oil temp if you want to not have a turbo timer.
