Default Guage Question

Ok i need your help guys, im looking at getting a guage as a gift for a friend. What do you guys think would be the most usefull guage that doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Id like to get something name brand, and I like to keep the cost about 60 bucks.

If they've got FI, a boost gauge, A/F Ratio gauge, etc. (They should have those already, but if they don't, slap them first then give them the gauge) If they dont have FI, then maybe a tach, or one of those big ass clocks thats supposed to look like a gauge :dunno:

plain and simple, the BEST choice for any car would be oil pressure
It doesnt matter if its NA of FI...its a well rounded gauge that should come stock in every cluster IMO

Oil pressure and water temperature are the two universal basics in my book.

A boost guage is always #1 for a turbo car.

If they have a truck, they might get a kick out of a transmission temperature guage.
