Default Gauge Pods. Which Gauges?

I'm going to get a 3 pod column gauge for my ms6. I already have my boost gauge, I'm wondering what other 2 guages would be most effective. I'm going for functionality.

I've been told:
Exhaust temp, oil pressure, and I'm not sure what the other acronym was started with an "E"

hmm o.O

I like oil temp over oil pressure. If you have a catastrophic failure, the idiot light is going to come on, so you're covered there. If you have a slow leak, or your level goes down, your temp is going to go up, and you're more likely to notice that than you are to notice the slight change in pressure it would create. Especially since pressure changes with RPM but temp moves much slower.

just my $0.02

so the wideband, egt, boost gauges would be the best 3 if you street tune?

I am looking into getting that 3 gauge pod for the dash and some maddad gauges but the 52mm's done have wideband :/

Where are you guys tapping in for oil pressure / oil temp? Did you guys do the oil filter conversion so you can use an oil adaptor plate with a can filter.

i thought it was a necessity to have the spin on filter for the oil type gauges.
anyone else care to chime in?
i just bought a mani with an EGT threaded out and ready to go, but might plug it up if a bit.. cant decide
