I would, for all those times you don't have the laptop plugged in and feel the need for supersonic sounds.

Definitely yes on fuel pressure...

where does everyone put their gauges? I think the A-pillar method is too common/ I was thinking in the blank panel in the top console that 99-02's have.

I think I am unique... But I hate having to move my head around to read all these gauges. I would love to put them in a guage pod ontop of the dash so they are right above the speedo/tach

wow, that socaldiesel product is exactly what i meant, but i was gonna cut into the panel i already have. might have to go for one of those.

I was thinking, and which are the most important 2 of 3, wideband, boost, or fuel pressure gauges?

eh, i'd rather mold them into my dash myself than buy that. You can run the lines through the firewall at any grommet. There are a few on the drivers side, including where the wires come in to connect the fuseboxes.
