if you are modding your car, i would go...
Oil pressure: Oil is like the blood of the cars engine, with out the right pressure, your engine is dead.
Boost: very important if you mod, making sure you arent getting boost spike and making sure you are getting the right boost is key in picking up on potential air leaks and whatnot.
fuel pressure: also very important since a turbo car needs fuel, if the fuel pressure is too low, your engine isnt getting the right amount of fuel and this could reduce performance and possible cause damage.
Those three will make sure your car is running correctly if you mod and potentially prevent a catastrophic failure. coolant temp isnt as big of a deal.... i would get oil temp before coolant temp because i dont consider a car warmed up properly until the engine oil has reached the right temps. Coolant will reach the operating temp well before oil reaches its operating temp.

I would think coolant temps would be important,so we know if car is overheating.Most other cars have this gauge.I'd hate to blow a head gasket cause i didnt know to pull over and shut car off in time.
So who offers all of these guage options in the cluster? The only one I've seen is for an "S" and comes w/oil temp and boost. Since I have a JustACooper. I don't need the boost, but would like the engine temp.
