Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

I would think Boost, Oil Pressure and EGT would be the wisest. If you have lots of room, a wideband O2 and Oil Temp would also probably come in handy.

civic01vtec has a reputation beyond repute

yeah, what these guys said

also, it is a wise idea to get a wideband.........and a a/f as a "idiot" gauge.

exhaust gas temperature...can be very helpful for tuning purposes and safe gaurding the engine. Yes you can get one without a turbo.

Sup sup, I'm in south tampa on westshore blvd. Yeah I passed by your ride one day on Orient Rd., but that was on my way to my boys house. Thats funny that you say you never see me though because I see your boy with the turbo Si all the time. Infact, I seen him just today...though he was missing his front bumper. Whats that all about?!?!?
