I second the EGT gauge. I just have the basic two, egt & boost. I think that's all you need unless you're planning on doing some tuning yourself. I just got these two because I know I'll be upgrading but doubt I'll tune myself so I need them just to monitor things and make sure things are running ok.
I installed both. Boost is simple and the egt isn't really that hard. Just make sure you have all the tools and it will be a nice install.

Where are you putting the wideband for the A/F gauge? If you're just tapping the stock one, it's just going to be a pretty light show.

Unless you're doing the Autometer oil pressure gauge. Then you need 14 adapters and lots of beer. It took me forever to put it in. It's fine now and works great, but it was a pain.
By the way, I was just curious as to why everyone says to get a EGT gauge? I've got the AP, and I don't think an EGT gauge is necessary unless you're going to get dyno tuned or do your own tuning. Just my thoughts. Please learn me.

oil pressure gauge
It shouldn't take too long once you run the wiring. I put my gauges on the windshield pillar. You will have to remove the altenator to gain access to the oil sensor. Remove the sensor and install the sending unit that comes with the gauge and any required adapters.
