What gauges to go with? Oil temp, oil pressure AFR... Etc
Hey guys I am curious what gauges everyone runs. I know the necessary one that we almost all require is a boost gauge. Which has already been ordered. But what about the others. I'm thinking oil pressure
I will be getting a clock pod eventually when I have a minimum of 2 gauges. So on that topic which clock pod to go with for my 06 WRX interior. I know the ATI is great quality but a little pricy in my eyes. Is there any others you guys/gals recommend?
And lastly i bought a prosport performance series gauge. I did not see a point to having a warning light for boost but I think it might be beneficial for oil pressure or others. What do you all think?

If only 2, then oil press would be the one you'll want the most. I have Prosport Halos and no issues with them. Warning light for boost is good if you happen to have a problem and are in an over-boost condition, which happened to me due to a cracked vac line. That's sort of a worst case sort of thing though and you will also SEE the over-boost condition on the gauge as well, regardless of a blinking light. Not a fan of clock pod or pillar pod.

If its 3 I would go in order
AFR
Oil Pressure
EGT
If you are going to track the car I would go with an oil temp guage.
Im part ninja and so is my car so the only gauge I have is an omori boost guage in the sti location. I am having the zeitronics LCD display that is super stealth and will probably locate in the stock ash tray location. It will read 4 different inputs on the one LCD. Mine will only have AFR to start but will probably add oil temp oil pressure and EGT later.

I run prosport premium 60mm boost, oil pressure, and water temp(due to cluster swap and incorrect working wt) and ati gauge pod I've herd that the ps gauges are off? I haven't ran into that problem, there is an adjustment for ur above sea level hight on the back. Had to adjust them but they seem to work pretty well

Depends on your mods. Assuming stage 2: Oil pressure, boost, EGT. If you track, replace oil pressure with oil temp. If you have a built motor/advanced setup, then oil temp, boost, and wideband AFR.
I'd stay away from Prosport. Many people have them problem free, but many more have had multiple gauges or senders go bad. They are also frequently inaccurate, and a gauge not showing what it should is a useless gauge. Several people have also had problems with oil pressure sender that could have cost them their motor if they hadn't caught it immediately.

Does anyone know if the dash clock wiring is 12v ac. Thinking of a good power source and the dash clock wiring is right there.
Thanks ill look into others.

just for comparisons, i run the "stock" subaru gauge pack...i was in the mood for almost 'stealthy' but stock looking set of gauges. only thing that wasn't there that i wish i had was EGT. but if i go for a pod, that's the 1st one i'd add on to what i've got now.
it's oil temp, oil pressure and boost
just one of many places to buy it: Legacy and Outback Turbo Performance Gauge Pack 2005-2008, SubaruGenuineParts.com

I had a set of Oromi in the ATi clock pod (boost, oil temp and pressure) and I had it that way for 5 years. I really missed having a clock so I went with the below setup
All ProSport gauges.
Top - boost, analog clock and oil pressure (52mms)
Radio pod - oil temp, water temp and exhaust temp (45mms)
On the left side of the 45s you see two little lights. One is a knock light and the other is a LED indicator for the IC water sprayer
