EGT Gauge
I have gauges on the pillar for boost and exhaust temp. Was this something that came from the factory? My exhaust gauge only works when the parking lights or headlights get turned on. Is this how it is supposed to be?

Not factory, OE the driver side A pillar is either blank or a handle. So those gauges are aftermarket with OP assembly, which evidently ain't exactly right. Can you post up a pic or describe them? Various brands hook up differently. Typically wired in behind the light switch panel, which pops right out btw. Here's a detailed gauge install instructions from Riff Raff, lots of good pics and info.

previous owner said he installed a sensor coming out of the turbo to measure exhaust temp

You need to find out where the probe is installed. If it is post turbo as you say the previous owner claimed it's nearly useless. It should be installed pre turbo on the exhuast manifold to be accurate of cylinder temps. Post turbo the gases have had time/room to expand and loose temp
