Currently I have a boost gauge, wideband, and interceptor. If I were to do it again, I would try and get everything on the interceptor. If you're using the LSJ MAP, you can already see boost on the interceptor. I think Aeroforce makes an adapter so you can see wideband through one of the analog inputs.
I'm not saying my gauges are annoying, but I like it to be as clean and minimal as possible.

Local boosted 2.4 has a PLX setup where everything is run through one gauge, it's a very clean setup and as with the interceptor you can view two parameters at a time so you can watch knock/AFR or whatever you choose.
Boost gauge is useless in a supercharged car unless you have a problem and need it for diagnostic purposes, being able to see it on a different page of the gauge or via your tuning software is plenty enough. I may put together my LSJ without a boost gauge in the pillar just for ***** and giggles. Put my wideband there or something.

the boost gauge is nice for seeing a function of throttle percentage. Things like how much vacuum at idle is handy to know if your car is warmed up. I also drive more efficient if i watch my boost gauge. I try and stay under boost in normal driving.

Weather went crap on me before I could get my hands on the proper torque wrench needed to get the project damn near done. Still need to order body clips to get the bumper n such back on. Estimating only a couple hours of work left til I'll be giving Tjolley a ring to come tune my baby and get me back on the road.

Unfortunately not. Weather has been crap for weeks and as I'm doing this without the convenience of a garage, it's delay after delay. Only a couple steps left until it is finished though.
