Need some expert advice

Hello to all, it's been a while since I've posted a thread here but I need some expert advice. I drive a '98 V6 Camry and I've got a TRD Supercharger and a Rod Millen Air Intake and a TRD Exhaust. I recently had a boost gauge and air/fuel ratio gauge installed on the pillar, here's where I need advice. A buddy of mine suggested to me that I get a oil temp. gauge; oil pressure and volt meter gauge installed. I asked him, why? and the answer he gave me sounded good. But my question to you all is that if I got these gauges how would they benefit me? and I am also wondering are there other gauges I should consider example, water temp. gauge or fuel pressure gauge or exhaust temp., etc... Do you guys recommed any of these gauges or should I just leave it alone? If I do get any of these gauges, I was planning on installing them on my dash.
Thanks for your advice and Happy Holidays to you all.

If you don't plan on going crazy with a lot of boost, you are probably good with what you have.

Voltmeter gauge would be a wise pick. its a good way to monitor your charging system because alternators do fail and when they do, you end up being stranded and calling a tow truck. no need for oil temp. and oil pressure gauge unless you like that excessive gauges look in your interior. NEVER install a fuel pressure gauge in the interior. egt and af gauge would be nice if your runnig crazy boost and have a wideband o2s. personally, I just have a boost and volt gauge to go with the stock temp, fuel, tach and speedo. you can only look at so many gauges when your driving.

o ya, if you ever wanna do any fuel modification, most aftermarket fuel pressure regulators come with a fuel press. gauge or a fitting for a fp gauge.
