3- Where I can get autometer gauge for cheap, and tripple gauge pot ?

Most people i know use different autometers.
What style depends on your style.
As far as what gauge is most impostant I would say itr depends on you as a driver.
Stock Oil pressure gauge works fine ,and chances are if you loose pressure that fast then its to late,lol.
Boost is good if you have any work done that might have a change in your boost curve( boost leak,creep,porting,boost turned up,ect).plus the stock gauge is a pos.
If you beat on your car alot an EGT would be good as well to know when you doing to much.

like I said it really depend on you as a driver.

if your only going to get the boost gauge, why get a 3 pod piller? but anyway, try Ebay... cheap as dirt.

Like I say Im not going do much stuff right now, after rebuild and 6 bolt swap, I will add more stuff to it, i want 3 pod, cause I dont want spend money later to buy tripple pod later, add 1 now , and 2 more later.

just buying a A/F ratio gauge are junk!!! You need to buy the real deal the wide band set up. As for a 3 pillar pod i got mine real cheap from here. Here is the one i got http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=31 You cannot really see it to good but look at my sig.

No you could get the defi or whatever like sphyder has. Mechanicals work great and are cheap and easy to hook up. I think boost, oil pressure, and a wideband or egt or both.

I personally like the Autometer gauges, I don't know if it's because we used to run them in the Sprint Car and never had any problems with them (and we get a lil discount too) but that's what I have for the Talon.
