Assuming the Tru-Boost controller already reads boost level, then i'd say the next best gauge would be EGT. However AEM also do a well priced Wideband gauge and i'd say that would be a better buy over EGT.

It's an additional sensor which you need to have fitted to your de-cat pipe. It just requires a hole drilling and then the boss being welded to the pipe.

I'd go for the EGT gauge if you are only buying a gauge to match the other one. The WBo2 from AEM is limited in it's scale.
I'm not saying it's a bad bit of kit but, when it goes off the scale you don't know what the real picture is. Many people have them and are happy with them.
