fuel pressure gauge necessary w/ turbo?
I'm going to run a wideband, do you guys highly suggest the need for a fuel pressure gauge? I've been reading up on a lot of people not being happy about them (saying they break/leak on the fuel rail setups). It seems to me though that a fuel pressure gauge would be more important than a wideband gauge- but I'm a noooob (kind of?)
or is wideband pretty much the same as a fuel press. gauge since if it loses fuel pressure the wideband will show it being lean
thanks!

If the wide band shows that you're going lean, then you check the fuel pressure. If it's OK, then your fuel pump is OK, and you move on to the injectors or tune. If the fuel pressure is low, then there is no sense in trying to adjust the tune for a lean condition.
In other words, they work together.
