Aftermarket gauges

What aftermarket gauges ,type not brand, are you using?

I have a EGT, and a Trans Temp, are there others that some may think necessary? (fuel pressure, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp, boost or others) just curious if I should be watching other levels or not.

Thanks

Doug

EGT and Fuel Pressure are the most important.

Your 07 already has a oem boost gauge.

Oil temp and water temp allow you to monitor the performance of your oil cooler (clogged oil coolers are a (theoretical?) cause of egr cooler failures).

Tranny temp is also a good parameter to keep an eye on, especially if you pull heavy with an auto tranny.

Beyond those, oil pressure, voltage, HPOP pressure, and coolant pressure (helps determine failing head gaskets) are all helpful.
