For those of you now running an Electronic Boost Controller do you even use a boost gauge or does the read out from the EBC suffice? Wouldn't the boost gauge be redudnant? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I can't figure out why you'd need both.

I would certainly have both. If the EBC goes insane and overboosts, I wouldn't trust it to be accurate while it tries to blow the engine to bits.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
