Default which gauge should i get? oil,water,boost?

ok theres a great deal with the sale going on at this automotive store near me, im getting a pod pillier soon (one that fits 2) and i need to figer out what guage i should get, the first one im getting is a volt gauge, and the next 3 i got to decided is "water temperature gauge" "oil temperature or pressure gauge" or "vacuum or boots gauge" , my car performance wise is stock for now,only a intake (till i do a swap)...which one should I get??

Well unless you add a turbo or supercharger your boost gauge will go to 0 and thats it.

go for the oil pressure gauge if you already have a water temp gauge on the stock cluster.
