No no no...your going at it wrong. Read up a little more on these types of sites and youll change your mind. You dont need an a/f gauge (autometer) unless your going wideband or jumptronix most are a waste of $$$. The 2 most important are EGT and boost. If your into the whole I want lights in my car thing, than the only other I might get are oil pressure and water temp. You can get a logger later on and have intake temp and water temp. Just set your goals and read, and you will save a lot of money, I gaurantee you that!!

oh and fp gauge can be installed in the engine bay (fuel filter) or adapted on a afpr...

yea hes right exhaust temp is a good one and boost pressure... u can use oil pressure gauge too. hmm another good one... hmmmmm how about intake temperature? its about $210 for that gauge with the sensor from autometer but it would be useful for a turbo setup.

exhaust temp
boost pressure
oil pressure
and i always found a volt meter very useful

as far as the air intake temp, if you get a pocket logger or something of that nature, it will read your air intake temp plus a lot of other features like pulling code and such. The Fuel pressure gauge can be bought from B & M racing and it mounts right to the fuel filter.

I was gonna tell you to get the same gauges eclipsegs96 said. Thats what I have and they're all very useful.
