Boost and Gas pressure can help diagnose almost anything you will run into, problem wise.

none for me but I do have braided ss lines to blower for oil return.

hell get oil pressure and fuel pressure. You wont know boost, but you will at least know if there are some serious mechanical failures.... which I would think is up there on the "important" list. Dan can tell you how many lbs of boost you are running.... it doesnt change over time lol

Boost doesnt change over time...unless you have a leak, or your blower has a boken seal

Well, kind of. I am at 10psi in cold weather, 9psi in hot weather. But essentially, if you are at the same temperature, your boost isn't going to change.

I run innovate motorsports wideband kit and also the boost gauge by them. Have worked flawless. Well, till I hit a rock with my low *** exhaust and broke the 02 sensor

Get one or two interceptor gauges so you can monitor a lot all from one gauge. Check them out on lethal. My best friend bought two of them and he loves them.

Wonder if i need to buy anything else? other than the pod obviously.

Edit..nvm apparently it comes with a cable that i plug into the OBD II Port..hmm might just get that! thanks Teej!

Edit again.. looks like if i want a/f or boost i have to buy seperate cables..hmmmm
