your taking the stock guages out of the dash?? if so you will obvisouly need those guages plus:

Pyro
Boost
Fuel pressure
Tranny temp (manual or auto)

thats all the ones that you really "need" but of course some have more than that. others might be:

Air intake temp
Diff oil temp
Boost temp

Stock oil pressure guage is a joke.

Computerized guestimation based on temp and rpm's
