Default Recommended gauges and sensors for tuning.

Looking for recommended gauges and sensors to aid in tuning of current setup but with the goal of going to MS3 very soon.

Car is:
99 Miata with TDR m45
PowerCard
TDR timing retard box
Diy methanol/water injection

Currently purchased an AEM Wideband but have yet to install, I will have another bung welded in rather than replacing stock o2 as I can't simulate narrowband with the AEM. What would be the best place to have the bung welded, before or after factory o2 loaction?

Not sure if I should purchase an EGT gauge as well, from reading other posts here egt isn't an accurate way of effectiveness of methanol/water. Would it be more beneficial with MS to aid in tuning? Also any particular gauge requirement? Any recommended gauges for this?

Any other gauges or sensors I should be looking at aside from boost of course.

Going to be ordering MS with the 10% off coupon they have going until the 2nd.

Just curious as to what sensors would be beneficial to tuning it, now going to use air just to retard timing to a safe place. For instance would the egt be beneficial to the tuner or does cost outweigh the benefit with the limitations of the m45?

I will me doing maf delete withbthe MS as well.
