Well time to fill my pillar pods with gauges and I was going to mass produce these but it seems as if some one beat me to it which is okay less work for me LoL. If that falls through I still have my tool and its ready and rarin to go. Anyways what gauges are most important to have. Now everyone is gonna say boost gauge but ill get that once the turbo kit is done. Imsure i want the air/fuel ratio gauge but that leaves one more.

4121 Oil Pressure 0 - 100 PSI (mechanical)
4127 Oil Pressure 0 - 100 PSI (electrical)
4128 Nitrous Pressure 0 - 1,600 PSI (mechanical)
4131 Water Temp. 140° - 280° F (mechanical)
4137 Water Temp. 100° - 250° F (electrical)
4157 Trans. Temp. 100° - 250° F (electrical)
4163 Electric Fuel Pressure 100 PSI (full sweep electrical)
4165 Exhaust Gas Temp. 0° -1,600° F (full sweep electrical)
4172 Intake Temp. 30° - 300° F (full sweep electrical)
4173 2 - Channel Intake Temp. 30° - 400° F (full sweep electrical)
4175 Air Fuel Ratio (lean / rich) (electrical)
4191 Voltmeter 8 - 18 Volts (electrical)

which one?

Easy to install, and nice to have.

Just my $0.02

I have Boost and EGT...the EGT is more of an early warning system in case I start running lean, I want to get an elec fuel and oil pressure next

I got a mechanical oil pressure gauge... I like the fact that it shows you the exact pressure instantly...
Then the next important gauges I'd say are
Boost (if you got a turbo)
Vacuum (if its N/A)
Oil temp
Exhaust gas temp
Ammeter
Volt meter
A/F meter.

AF gauges are useless.

oil pressure
oil temp
water temp
EGT
fuel pressure

those are the ones you need if your car is in a high state of tune
