Default gauges

How much money will you have to spend for gauges for a blower setup for just something decent?

I have spent 600+ on gauges... $230 on a obd2 scan gauge (not a must but its nice) $260 wide band gauge (recommended) $60 boost gauge (recommended) $60 fuel pressure gauge (recommended)

Wide band gauge is a must in my book.

I had one and it fluctuated so fast that it was pointless unless your cruising at a constant speed. Basically i you nail it and get into boost, if anything was going to lean out and cause damage, it would happen before your gauge knew it....or as its happening. So a wideband gauge in my opinion is a waste of money. Just a bling factor.
