Left over from NA days:

1) oil pressure
2) oil temperature (use to be tranny temperature before I converted to 5-speed)

For FI:

3) boost pressure
4) fuel pressure
5) exhaust gas temperature
6) fuel injector duty cycle

recent additions:
6) air-fuel ratio from wideband O2 sensor (Innovate LM-1 datalogger with Bosch LSU4.2 sensor)
7) two channel intake air temperature with peak hold

I made a gauge panel out of black acrylic. Then I took out the cubby hole thingy in the console and inserted the panel and gauges in its place.

Here's a better view of the center gauges:

I have trouble enough with triple pillar pods, what with age related far-sightedness. I can't focus on anything closer than 12-14 inches, so a quad pillar would be useless for me.

I didn't. You can, but then you get the narrow band signal from the oem O2 sensors, which is useless for tuning. What I did was get this:

Innovate LM-1

It comes with a Bosch wide band sensor with a linear range from afr 8:1 to 18:1 (actually more, but that is the range the gauge displays).

The LM-1 is also good for datalogging. Here is a run up to about 6300 rpm. The purple line is afr, black line is rpm, blue is boost pressure and red is throttle position. The boost pressure and throttle position are uncalibrated yet, but 3.8 volts corresponds to 10.2 psi. The throttle position is at 100%, of course.

Heh heh. But honestly, every gauge has a useful purpose and measures something vital to the engine's health. And at least the afr gauge isn't one of those useless led light show jobs.
