What gauges are necessary? gimme some input....

alright, i don't have my WRX yet but here is the setup i'm gonna run and i wanted to know what gauges i would need to keep an eye on things.
my setup:
-TurboXS stage 2
-TurboXS UpPipe
-Blitz FMIC
-Blitz intake
---thats all for now.

i plan on getting a Blitz turbo timer and i already have an air/fuel gauge from my last project. so here is the question.

of the following what gauges do i need and if there are some that i don't need or should add let me know. thanx.

-Boost Gauge
-Oil Temp Gauge
-Fuel Pressure Gauge
-Exhaust Gas Temp. Gauge
-Boost Controller(manual/electric???)

thanx in advance.

Boost gauge will be all you need. Maybe an EGT.

Fuggeddaboutit. IMO, not necessary with stock turbo and injectors.
