Well you buy an autometer EGT gauge, and also a probe. That will get you in the right direction...
Now you'll need to drill and possibly tap a hole in your passenger side manifold for the probe.
From then on out it's just simple electrical connections for the probe to the electronic sender to the gauge, and 12V +/-

Not true at all. Not many including MOST do not have an extra bung for additional sensors. However a muffler shop in my neck of the woods charges $20 for a bung to be drilled and welded on to any pipe as long as it's taken off the car for them. Price goes up if they have to remove anything.

You can put a bung in your uppipe, downpipe or exhaust manifold. there are many opinions on where the BEST place to put it is.
If you want to tap into your manifold, I would recommend somewhere around cyl #3. There's a 'bump' vicinity of where you might want to drill. I tapped right through that bump.
Jorge (riftswrx) at www.temporalrifts.com has some good pictures and 'how-to'.
