Default what gauges to run...

just had a few question for you guys with turbos and blowers, and what you do for gauges...i already have a triple a piller mod with a tach and two aeroforce scan gauges...so to be safe i know i need to keep an eye on a few more things like...

fuel pressure
boost
wideband a/f
pyro?
...

now with my aeroforces, i can run all of these functions but i would like to have the benefit of having the analog gauge to make sure things dont drop to quickly or go to high(know what i mean?)...so again i was just wondering what your guys input would be to do...

I run a triple pillar pod. From the top down I have all phantom boost/vac, pyrometer, and fuel pressure. In the autometer steering column pod I've got my LC-1 wideband and XD-16 gague.... Ill probably add an oil temp and scan gague in the near future. I've got an esky cluster so I've got trans temp in there.
