EGT is an awesome choice.
Did you install yer turbo? IF you did its not too hard to install an oil pressure sensor compared to the turbo install

umm no EGT is exhaust gas temp , totally different than air fuel . you drill into the #3 runner on the manifold and put the probe in there .
oil pressure is also a good guage choice

Just install the guage on the pod, then take it to a shop to get exhaust manifold tapped or unless you can do it yourself. I took mine to get tapped a few days ago, and it took only like 10 mins. Mostly because they have the right tools.

Re: gauge question... need help.. (tgh99si)
if you want function then the Greddy EGT, either the peak-hold or non-peak hold, is one of the most accurate EGT's guages.

Cost me 30 bucks and didnt have to remove anything. They just drilled the heat shield first, then tapped into the exhaust manifold while the engine was running so that the metal pieces get blown out.
Or I think you could find the tap they use and do it yourself as well.

It wont mess up the turbine at all. This is the way it's done. The metal stuff doesnt reach the turbo or dp cause the metal flakes shoot straight out of the manifold into the air and not through the turbo or dp.
