do you think i'll need one? i'm gonna get it tuned, and they have a wideband they use for their dyno, and i don't ever plan on changing my settings and i can't change boost, so the wideband would be pointless, right? lol

wideband would be a wise choice for insurance. don't really need boost guage unless you like to have it for show.

No - a wideband is NEVER pointless unless you don't mind risking your motor. Many variables could change making you run lean, thus bye bye motor. A wideband is really the only gauge you NEED.

Boost gauge on the other hand is pointless. You're sc has an 8lb pulley on?? So you know you are maxing out around 8lbs so what is the point?

I wouldn't worry about EGT personally.

Wideband, boost, oil pressure.
