If things go to plan, I should have space for 6 gauges, currently I have Boost, voltage, oil temp and soon to be afr. That leaves 2 spaces, any suggestions?

Oil pressure and maybe fuel pressure.

Oil pressure.

I would be looking at some kind of knock detection, assuming you are thinking of tuning in the future.

Why would you go for egt over knock, Tomasz?

Simply, our engines can develop extremally high EGT without b**dy knock. I know of 2 modified vr4 and maybe 3rd (but can't be sure) melted itsef without warning knocks.
Anyway, if Colin is aiming for a big power then IMO it is MUST HAVE.
Engine knocks can be monitored from standalone ecu or good piggy back level, so gauge is not necessary.
