yes, the fuel pressure and Boost are the two main ones. The normal Air/Fuel gauge wont tell you anything, just jump around alot. So if you want Air/Fuel, you have to step it up to a wideband setup.

Funny thing is that, most of the import crowd including myself believe in three primary gauges, and a 4th optional, and 5th if you have the money to spend...
Oil Pressure, EGT, and Boost (many boost gauges include vacuum)
Optional - Fuel Pressure.
Got cash? Wide Band.
You can tune a car on EGT alone if you wanted to. That is why it would go before a fuel presure gauge.

Unredeemed, EGT gauge is a goo done to get but the problem with it is that with a rear mount kit I am not sure if anyone would know how to read the #s correctly since the temps most likely won't be the same due to backpressure from the turbo. The probe is usually the last in line. Now it will be between the turbo and manifolds.
