Been doing a lot of research into proper instrumentation. I have looked at EVERYTHING including AEM, Defi, HKS, Prosport, STACK, Autometer, PLX devices, Zeitronix, Greddy, etc.
I think what I need to have are:
1) Air Fuel ratio
2) Boost
3) Fuel pressure
4) Oil temperature
5) Intake Air temp
6) Possibly oil pressure mainly because a warning would be nice as the stock gauge does nothing. Can save your motor.
So where do I fit all this neatly?
For boost and AFR I can get one gauge, the new AEM Failsafe which has a built-in data logger and a better large white OLED display in the center instead of the red. I find the standard AEM dual display of digital center and LED ring to be dizzing, at least the new OLED display is better. Being this thing datalogs and is fully PC programmable, I feel its the one to get:

For the rest, my two top runners were the new Autometer Elite, and the almost identical STACK Pro-Control. I am going with STACK because they are just a better name and I don't want silver bezels. I like these a lot because they have a peak and hold memory function, as well as the low and high limit flashing Alarm, and the ability to trigger other items when limits are reached. This is very very cool. The STACK seems to have 2 modes on the trigger, the autometer only one. Here is the autometer video:

For IAT I may have to go with prosport, I don't know who else makes it.
Any opinions?
