Whats Gauges are you guys running? i think i may do one of the following but cant decide
Wideband untill i get a few more $$ and then add a boost and oil pressure gauges
or
A boost and oil Pressure gauge then get the wideband.
or just get all 3. but i dont see the need for a wideband if im getting dyno tuned?
Also, how long did it take to install your blowers?

Gas pressure, and boost pressure. You already have an oil pressure guage in your car, and if you run braided ss lines to the blower, you have absolutely no reason to worry about it.
Boost and Gas pressure can help diagnose almost anything you will run into, problem wise.

hte stock oil pressure gauge sucks. It only tells you IF you have oil pressure. Not how much it is.
Are you tapping the oil pan? If so oil pressure is critical I think. Who is tuning your car? Wideband is nice if you are doing stuff yourself. If a professional is doing it, it could be replaced with something else if you liked.

I would get a wideband and a boost gauge at the LEAST. Fuel pressure is redundant if you want a wideband. It will let you know if you have ANY fuel issue immediately, and ull always have a good idea of how safe your car is tune wise with weather changes etc.

Its up to you man. You have 2 slots. Order them as most-important for YOU. Mine happend to be boost and oil pressure.
You can do wide band/oil pressure, wideband/boost, etc... etc... you will wont be able to know everything at one time! so choose what you want to know more!
