if your surely going to get the turbo sure why not? i intend on installing the Blitz DC series gauges once the blower is in...Boost, Fuel Pressure and Oil Temp...thin depth gauges with a central command module perhaps allowing me to fit the gauges within the center console pocket (no navigation). I may also be getting a gauge for air/fuel mixture. I would say definitely get the gauges if you're going to be on the track or autocross.

Yes, get the gauges, especially the EGT. There's nothing ricey about them and when you add that kind of hp to an engine you want to monitor everything you can. Anybody who calls a boost gauge ricey doesn't know what he's talking about, unless the car doesn't have a turbo/SC.
