The way I see it there are only two or three extra gauges you need to find space for on an N/A car, although there are lots of options. Most of them seem to be a bit superfluous, although lot of people are going to disagree with me here.
Tacho. No problem with this one. It should be next to the Speedo. If your car came with a clock in this space, remove it post haste and install it in your oven where it belongs. Replace it with a decent Tacho.
Clock. You should have one of these strapped to your wrist. Invest in one and learn to read the big and little hands on it.
Oil pressure. A must have, and high on my shopping list as soon as I figure out where to mount it.
Oil temp: Cute, and a reminder of how long your engine really takes to warm up. Lets you know not to thrash it cold. Probably a good idea.
Fuel economy gauge: If you don't know how much pressure you're putting on the throttle, then you probably shouldn't be driving. Foot goes down, foot goes up. Gas consumption is generally inversely proportional. To stop the car, move your foot to the left and press down. You need a gauge to tell you that?
Ambient temperature. What are you going to do about it, almost as silly as the fuel economy gauge?
Volts. Tells you how happy your battery is, and how much charge is available while you're cruising. Definately a should have gauge.
