A vacuum gauge would be useless for a boosted application since you'll need it to read boost also. It's not going to do much on a naturally aspirated application either. You get to see the needle move up and down when you push on the gas pedal. I'm not really sure how it's going to tell you if the engine is running right.

Wideband O2 = Very accurate, real time air/fuel ratio gauge, not just a light show/screen door on a submarine
