Which three gauges should I get for my pod?

Im looking at getting a set of three gauges for my Cummins and Im curious which ones I should get. Im for sure getting EGT and Tranny Temp, but what other one should I get? I was thinking boost gauge but I think I would rather spend the cash on somthing more useful. What do yall think?

Pyro (EGT), Boost, and a Tranny temp gauge. I'd also spend a little more and get a fuel pressure gauge to mount on either the steering column or in or under the dash.

If you get nothing else, get a FP guage.

That being said, you need all 4....

FANTASTIC question. I myself am looking but like you, don't know which gauges. Also, what brand does everyone recommend?

if you dont tow, your fine with a fuel pres. alone, but if you add a chip then its smart to get a pyro
