Log boost: JDM MAP vs. Aftermarket gauge?

Log boost: JDM MAP vs. Aftermarket gauge?
I have a few questions about logging boost using Evoscan or Mitsulogger.
I want to log boost and WB 02 simultaneously in EvoScan or Mitsulogger and am not sure if I should "kill two birds with one stone" and get the PLX iMFD+PLX Boost Sensor module, or stick with my current mechanical gauge and pair it with a JDM MAP sensor.
When using a JDM MAP sensor, I understand you can add boost tables and load a ROM, and the signal then can be read along with all the other information from the OBDII port, right?
What if you want to use an aftermarket electronic boost gauge that has a MAP sensor and 5V output, such as the PLX boost sensor module, or similar product from Innovate or Zeitronix? Can I use this output to log boost in EvoScan or Mitsulogger? Or is that only useful when using one of those companies' respective datalogger hardware units?
Could I have two external signals plugged into a laptop using Evoscan or Mitsulogger at once, logging both of them simultaneously?
BTW, where can I get a JDM MAP sensor?

any wideband supported by evoscan and mitsulogger will log the jdm map, and wideband seemlessly.
getting the output of the jdm-map to drive a gauge is whole different challenge, in which case you might be better suited with a package from zeitronix, or innovate. unless you already have a decent mechanical gauge. i have the stock MR gauges which max out above 1.5-1.6bar - so basically i use my gauge to tell me if i'm boosting or not - and then i check the logs to see a detailed boost curve.
