Well, since you brought it up....

I'm not running a boost gauge with mine.  I considered hooking up a temporary
one to make sure it wasn't over-boosting, but to a certain extent that is
true.  The only thing the is different about a boost gauge compared to an AF
gauge is that you can use it to catch problems before something goes boom.
With the O2 sensor gauges you won't know anyway because they aren't wide-band
(I'm talking about the usual cheap ones - under $1,000).

I agree about gauges for most things, but the $30 AF gauge won't tell you
squat.
