Adding first two gauges! Which ones? Brands?

[84GNTTYPE]

My car is completely stock right now. I'm in the process of getting my car tuned and then would like to begin modding as my budget allows. Before I do the fuel pump, afpr, downpipe, wastegate rod, etc I want to put in a couple of gauges. For sure one will be a boost/vac gauge and I was thinking of the second one being a knock gauge . . . but what do y'all think? Should I do a knock gauge or maybe something else would be more useful? Also what brands do you all prefer/look good in the GN!?! Mechanical or electrical? Digital display or analog?

Thanks for everything!

IMO, add three gauges: boost, oil pressure and water temp. Forget the knock gauge unless you like light shows; a Scanmaster will tell you more.

Good luck!

The advantage of a knock gauge (especially when coupled with a knock alarm) is that you will know to get out of it immediately. Scanmaster you will likely be well into the knock before you can get out.
