Default engine sensors

hi all,

im building a turbo zetec engine for my kit car, im runningomex 600 and a race technology dash 2, what sensors would most people be looking at running?

i have the normal water temp air temp oil pressure and oil temp, and boost i think i should be able to sort, is exhaust temp a good idea to have to keep an eye on? or what would you guys recommend

thanks

thanks, im using the interface lead from omex to dash so that will pick up the normal engine sensors,

i will want a wideband at the least ill have a look at the exhaust temp sensors

I'd use all the normal engine sensors as it's a road car, personally I wouldn't bother with EGT.
