so I've got those 3 and, only because I have another hole to fill... hmm... that didn't come out right! oh well! it's late! seriously, WTF should I get? I only wanted/needed the boost but.... yeah, a pillar's are too ghetto for me so I went with the under the stereo look. also... since i'm gonna order this shit tonight off stewart warner, anyone know what size guages fit inside the area under the stereo?

get a 42 draft designs 3 gauge holder (holds 2 1/16" gauges)

i think you'd be better off getting boost, oil pressure, and oil temp if possible.

I already have a draft designs 3 gauge holder... so the A/F ratio is pointless huh?

yup, the A/F ratio is pretty much pointless.

If I were getting just 3 I would get Boost, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Pressure. Although you could make an argument for replacing Fuel Pressure with an EGT.

In an ideal world you would pick up an AEM Wideband ;)

Since the A/F ratio is so pointless and honestly... although those others may serve a point, I'm not the type who brings along a laptop when he drives (if you know what I mean) so I'm not too interested in that crap... plus, the cost of installation will most likely triple. All that being said... I'm now on a mission to find a cool way to house just ONE gauge (boost of course). I've already ordered the pocket I sold a while ago so... yeah, I think that' sthe best bet. if anyone has any cool ways to house just one gauge.. I'm all ears. hmm... I seem to recall something that went over the steering wheel. where the hell can I find that sucker???

You used to be able to order the steering wheel gauge holder from Mitch at http://www.protege5online.com

But just today I got an email from mmrusa that had a product in it that would probably suit your needs perfectly and you can mount the gauge cup on the steering wheel or anywhere else you want:
