Gauges!?!?

So what kind of gauges does everyone use in here and what type?? Boost, egt, oil...? I know that autometer is the best for its price but how accurate are they? I wanted to get some that are backlit and preferably electrical..dont know much about tapping those mechanical gauges. What does everyone suggest? I was planning on running 3 gauges on a center gauge pod or somethin like the oem one you can buy from the dealer..anyone here got a package they wanna sell?

Thanks!!

i have all autometer gauges...but the boost is mechanical..i also have a/f ratio, and voltage for my stereo equipment.
they boost and voltage are backlit, the air fuel ratio gauge only lights up the bar.

the only gauge i have is the boost gauge that came with the tt. i think its fairly accurate.
alot of my friends have autometer gauges, and they all are fairly dead on. i think the a/f egt, and oil are all good to have.

VDO boost gauge is my only aftermarket meter. I'd like to add an EGT gauge to the mix eventually.
