This thread reminds me that I've been wanting to add some gauges so I can monitor things a lot better. I know CIP1 has lots of VDO gauges, care to suggest which 3 would be the best to have for monitoring a turbo diesel? I'm thinking about: 
Oil Temp
EGT
Boost

I thought about oil pressure but the existing indicator is still working fine. And I'll have separate voltage displays for main and aux batteries shortly so no need for VDO versions.
