You probably want an a/f gauge. Autometer seems to be best. The Z-Series is black on black.

The Autometer A/F gauge is a piece of crap. Don't waste your money. Boost and oil temp to start since charged VRs run hot. Then can move on to EGT if you want.

I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago. Came up with EGTs and Oil Pressure. If you have the curtain airbags then those two, with a boost gauge are all you need. I've got the a-pillar mount so I'm also planning on getting the intake temp gauge. But that is probably not as useful for you unless you will be running an intercooler.

Just curious, but why do you say the a/f gauge is worthless? I got one, but haven't installed it. do you mean it doesn't give useful info or it's bad quality?
