Default Which gauges do I need? Help!

Hello,
I just bought a boost and oil temp combo gauge, and was wondering what other gauges I really need and why? Oil Pressure, EGT, Air/Fuel, ETC. Trying to keep the my total # of gauges to four. Any input appreciated.
Thanks

Depends on how modded your car is and how you drive it.
Right off the bat you can forget about the A/F gauge unless it's a real one with a wideband 02 sensor. The "tapped in" ones are worthless.
EGT is useful if you have power mods and run more than stock boost.

I am getting the combo from a gentleman on subaruforester-com, I think that they are only made for the forester though.
As far as mods, I am just thinking of putting a vf39 on the Fxt.

You can't "just" swap the turbo, you need proper engine management and supporting mods to go with it. But if you're going in that direction, an EGT gauge is definitely a good idea.
