You can get gauges for pretty much anything.
When I get my IHI Conversion I'm getting 4 gauges... boost, charge temp, oil temp and fuel-air ratio.
Can you get a 4 pod for the A pilar? If not then I'll probably stack them 2 high on the dash, like this:

I've seen a LCD one with boost and temp displays, but can't find it. May be in newer Demon Tweeks catalogue, was about £140
yer ben i may have oil pressure but i dont know if three in a pod will look too much!?
the dual pod ive seen but no prive as for 4 i really dont know i would think you can get them or even add a podd to a triple with fibre glass?
lcd one would be nice but just two white faced of the above would be cool, are they easy to wire up??

SPA do dual digital gauges...
I have one (not fitted yet) for oil temp/press
Saves dash space for two in one pod. 52mm gauge
They cost approx ~£120 each.

I think they're the ones i'm thinking of - black or white faces illuminated in orange or green.
They do various combs as well.
I have a couple of the SPA digi gauges in my Turbocharged Mini. I didnt get a boost one though. As I prefer a good old fashioned needle to indicate boost levels, rather than harder to read numbers.
As for the full digital engine monitors.. Forge Motorsport sell these, but looks like they are only for those weedy Impreza's right now ;)

Personally I can't get on with digital gauges... I want to be able to glance at the display whilst nailing it which is easy with a good old fashioned analog needle, but with a digital display you have to look at it long enough to actually read it.
One interesting thing I have seen is an fightplane style HUD (Head Up Display) for the car. It projects its display onto your windscreen! :) It claims to give a clear image regardless of the conditions outside, but I don't know if its genuinely useful or just a gimmick. Also, I'm not sure what exactly it can display.
