Unless you plan on tuning your car yourself, you don't really need a wideband. You should be fine with just a boost gauge and oil pressure.
about the ebay gauges, I bought this rpm gauge and damn thing broke the first week. I had to take it apart to fix it

No, you're looking at $300+ for constant monitoring of factors, and eventual peace of mind

AEM UEGO Wide band, check ebay I got mine for just around $270 new. If I were you I would get a wide band, oil pressure, and boost gauge.
Edit: gsumano, your gauges aren't level with each other, how does that not bug the crap out of you? I am going crazy trying to make sure mine are all even before I finish installing them.

alright on to a diff turbo question. i have available to buy used, a 16g from a evo 3 and a t25 turbo wich is also a mitsubishi turbo. wich one do you guys think is better for boosting my d16y7, im not lookin for too much h/p, yet, cuz its a stock block, so im looking for quick spooling and maybe shooting for around 225-250 whp, if applicable.
Any CC or suggestions are welcomed.

a more realistic goal is probably 180ish whp. If you want quick spool, i can vouch for the t25. 2100rpm spools at full boost by 2400rpm

Tony did you hvae a wideband on your boosted Civ? I think with gsumano is saying is techinically you don't NEED a wideband to have a boosted car, but at the same time it's safer for you (to monitor a/f ratio) and easier for a tuner so they don't have to install/uninstal the wideband everytime they want to tune. So Overurhead if you throw down the money for a wideband, you will probably be happy you did, but it's not 100% completely necesarry. Tony you put the Wideband under this category in the Building a Turbo Kit Sticky: Stuff you don’t NEED, but may come in handy.
And also Overurhead, a T25 is a pretty common turbo and you may be able to find a turbo manifold with a T25 adapter plate on it already, which would save you some hassle.
