EGT (exhaust gas temp)

people have recomended

oil pressure
trans temp
fuel pressure
water temp

Honestly, you really don't NEED any of those at this point. Since you have a 98' your water temp gauge is actually functional. Unless you have a stall convertor (i see you have an M6) you don't really need a tranny temp gauge either.

Honestly, i'd take that money you were going to use on gauges and buy some more performance mods.

You actually dont need any gauges, its a 98 with the accurate water temp, and an M6, so no need for tranny temp. Those gauges you like provide infomation that you don't know what to do with, such as EGT and IAT.
