Gauges-Have Boost and Oil Pressure, Now What?

I have already installed a boost and Oil pressure gauges. I just bought a MINI gauge pod and I am thinking of adding a voltmeter. The second hole of the gauge pod is up in the air. What do you all think I should fill this with. Water Temp? Oil Temp? Intake temp?

Thanks,
ARLY

Oil temp. It’s better than the idiot gauge like water temp gauge that always seems to be right in the middle. I notice my oil temp gauge will fluctuate depending on how hot it is and therefore how hot the engine temp is.

I agree, I think an oil temp gauge is the best indicator of when it is safe to "get on it." Another thought would be a wide band O2 sensor.
