Default A-Pillar Gauges

Looking to put 2 Gauges in the A-Pillar on my B5. I want to know besides Boost what is the 2nd most important gauge to put? Oil Pressure? Fuel Pressure? Air/Fuel Ratio? Or an Others?

Another question is is the 99.5 A4 similar to that of the 99-05 Jetta or 98-00 Passat?

Boost, Oil Pressure, Exhaust Temp... The narrow band Air/Fuel ratio gauges are crap, fuel pressure really isnt needed unless your engine requires higher then stock fuel pressures, in which case just get a good high quality fuel pressure controller and a new fuel pump thenno worries there... Oil pressure is extremely important on a boosted car so I would say to go with that...

As Jeff said a wide band 02 would be areally goodidea, they are especially useful when you start tuning the air/fuel ratio (they are pretty much pointless until you start tuning the air/fuel)... Just dont waste your time/money on a narrow band 02 sensor...

Passats are pretty much based on a4's... I think jettas are more related to a3's since they use the same parts like brakes and stuff.
