i cant possibly see why an escos rep would need any more than 3 gauges max?

A pillar would be my first choice or above the stereo as above

I have first hand experience in having too many guages in my car as of last year.

I ran Autometer guages
Oil temp
oil Pressure
fuel level
fuel pressure
water temp
volts
boost
rev counter
speedo.

Which did i look at the most, when driving hard.... NONE..

Get a stack or Aim digi dash if you can or just fit some warning lights on the dash to highlight an issue.

As has been said, try to get gauges that will give you a warning there is an issue with an alarm.. - One of the main reasons I went for Defi's!
