yeh.... you NEED gauge... the most important imo is the egt or pyro gauge cause ur pistons are alumninum (spelling?????) and you dont want them to melt next would be boost and if you have an auto you def want to get a tranny gauge,, its still a good idea to get one if u have a 5 speed

With the stock plate full forward and the AFC housing bumped, the fuel is there for some EGT trouble. Be sure to block the wastegate if thats the way you want to run or the EGT's will be alot higher. Gauges are always good.
