What are you going to use to monitor your boost? I would recommend a datalogger with a laptop to see a graph of your runs. Once you get a baseline then you won't need to hook it back up unless you do additional mods or car starts to run different. With the zietronix you can get the o2 sensor, and boost sensors as optional equipment but recommended. Heres the Zietronix I have. Datalogger from Needswings with o2 sensor included and here is the Boost Sensor.
