Default Just Boost Gauge?

I've been thinking and an a/f gauge doesn't do much unless you have a wideband right? I have no clue what an EGT does other than measure gas temperatures... So If I use a boost gauge to make sure I'm not boosting some insane amnount(around 6-7psi) and I just start out with a fully retarded ignition and slowly advance it...with a fuel pressure gauge to make sure I'm getting fuel(fmu), should I be alright? Or is this the making of a disaster? I know a guy in town that has a turbo civic and he can help me listen for detonation and whatnot.

an egt reads exhaust gas temperatures, which, the hotter they are, the leaner you are, your engine runs hot in a lean condition. i'm not sure i understand the question though, are you just asking if you can use an fmu and nothing else, well the answer is yes, you just can't boost too much.
