Default Ecoboost A-Pillar Guage Pod

Other than a Boost gauge, what other gauges would be worth having in a three gauge pod? I've had gauges in an old diesel and ran boost, pyro, and trans temp. But other than boost what would what would be worth having in my Ecoboost? I like the look of the three gauge pod!

I'm not familiar with oxygen sensors or the fuel pressure. What's the benefit and reasoning monitoring those two in particular?

I was eyeing the 2 gauge setup and going with boost+voltage.

There is no benefit to any of the gauges you're adding, really. Fuel pressure and air/fuel ratio is critical to not destroying a turbocharged engine. People that program their own engines would watch those. Boost gauge is for entertainment mostly.

All this stuff and more is already monitored by the engine ECM without hacking up the engine bay to add more sensors. Did you know that you could have a pillar mounted LCD display and set up any gauges you want and even have a lot more features than that?
