The water temp gauge and the boost gauge are fed independently. No common fuse b/t them.

So pull the gauge cluster off and ring the wires out from the cluster to the unit your interested in.

I'd start with the boost gauge. It shares the output wire of the boost/pressure sensor wtih the ECU. No signal to the ECU could spell curtains for your engine some day. Free fsm available online with schematics.
