Default best three gauges to have in a pod?

Was just looking at the ultra-gauge.com site and there is about 70 different possible gauges to utilize on your vehicle. What do you Guys think are the best and most useful gauges? I know on TC / SC cars you want to monitor boost, temps, and other things. But what about n/a or nitrous what would be best?

I've got an Ulta-Gauge. Instant MPG, STFT, Intake temp, coolant temp, LTFT and timing for page one.



Not all the info will be available as it only sees the generic OBDII data.



The temps are calibrated in 1.8* break points so it is only accurate when set on Celsius. Load is limited to 100% no fun for turbos..

I run temperature, boost and oil pressure. The temp gauge can be switched between oil and coolant.

I never heard of that before. Just checked out their website and its pretty cool. For only $70, I think I may actually get it. Without the glass mount though. Thinking I could velcro it some how where the cig lighter is. But I plan on getting a navigation unit and mounting my LCD panel where the lighter section is. Hmmm...Red Raspberry...where did you mount yours? Got a pic by chance?

I use it in the Accent mostly. It just sits on the console in front of the shifter. On the Coupe I use the windshield mount.



One hassle with it is if you move it from car to car the parameters are not always there. And for the mileage you have to enter the tank size.

i was considering the ultra gauge but I know my car very well to know when certain things are going wrong. I want to run maybe oil temp, trans temp, and a/f ratio. Anybody think there are better one to use?

Unless you are getting a tune, have a tune or are forced induction I would not bother with the A/F gauge..
