Boost and tach would be the 2 most important in my mind...luckily the ECU limits the revs which leaves the boost.

I'd have to say tach. Besides the sound of the engine, it tells you when to shift.

Who needs a speedometer???? I don't care how fast I'm going. I already know I'm above the speed of slow so who cares what the number is.

Definately boost. I can hear roughly what RPM I am at. AFR is right up there too (wideband).

You really just need a boost gauge to tell you if you're being stupid of safe. The tach is a given, but even w/o that, yoiu can go off an Afc like device which is digital and more accurate.

you don't need a boost gauge with a T25 though. Just open it all the way and let her buck at 15psi firm. LOL

I think with my back ground Im gonna stick to the tach.

Boost gauge is the most important.
Who needs a tach? Just shift when you hit the revlimiter and you are fine .

Just used the clock to count the minutes it takes to get to redline, then shift?

Boost for starters
then a fuel pressure gauge when you get serious.

the only 2 aftermarket gauges you need (IMO).
