Default Gauges needed for turbo addition

I'm swapping a 5.3L into a Lexus and have limited space for gauges and was hoping to get by with these three gauges.

Two of these, AeroForce Interceptor Gen II (Dual Scan Gauge Package)
One, Turbosmart Boost Controllers - e-Boost2

Will that be enough to monitor everything sufficiently?

A fuel pressure gauge and a wideband AFR gauge are almost mandatory.

Sadly in my ltd the only gauge I can see is coolant anymore, I moved the WB gauge up in the dash so passenger can see it and boost gauge is now in the glove box, I have the factory ALT light come on if its not charging, I just trust the tune up on it. I do have a ultragauge in the dash that has rpm/iat/trip/coolant/timing/etc, but I hardly ever plug it in anymore.
