Default New gauges orderd... lemme know what ya think!

I just ordered 2 gauge pods with 6 new gauges. The pilar pod I am going with is the 3 gauge SOS unit and then I am doing a dash 3 gauge pod from Autometer.

This is the position of each gauge that I think is best lemme know if you think I should switch anything


SOS Pod
Fuel Pressure
Oil Pressure
Digital Tac w/Shift LEDs Autometer Pod
Left EGT Boost Right EGT

glad that I havent had the "omg thats a horrible choice" post yet haha but yah thats the first settup I thought of but I am going to be looking at the pillar pod with the shift light during my runs and if I loose boost thats no big deal but if I loose oil pressure or fuel pressure I need to cut it off and think that I wanna put those close to my eye for that reason.
