Wide band a/f gauge is pretty important.

Fuel pressure is also nice to have.

Agree a Boost, Nice Wideband, Fuel prs. Are a must! I also went with water temp gauge due to the issues with the procharger set up and higher temps. Along with the inaccuracy with the stock water temp.

Any suggested brand for those?

A/F
Boost
Fuel

I was looking at PLXD multi-gauge but it requires multiple sensor modules $$$.

Anybody else have recommendations for brands? I want a quality wideband for sure since it may save my engine. I have been looking into the NGK Powerdex AFX Wideband Kit The read out will fit in the hole by the shifter on the TA. That location would be a little out of eye sight so I am also interested in other widebands that I could fit in a pillar pod or the heater vents.

The damn wideband and fuel pressure gauge will cost you a arm and leg, but, worth it in the long run.
