    I've got PLX wideband, Boost, Tranny, fuel, and oil.
    That's because I'm awesome.

    That Aerforce gauge is expensive, but if you can wait and save up, it's definitly worth getting. It monitors so many things and most importantly it allows you to see if your car is getting any kr. Otherwise I would go with mechanical boost and electrical oil pressure I think.
