If you just pulling an open car hauler, you will not be in boost that much of the time. I pulled an open trailer thru WVA, VA, NC several times without any problems, when I went to an enclosed trailer is when you need FI, weight increase and so does drag. Inspect you brake pads/rotors and add fresh brake fluid before you start.

A/F gauge is the wideband. new is about 200-300 for a gauge and sensor. Used for about 100-150.
All you have to do is weld a BUNG into the exhaust so you have a place to hook it up. get a piggyback fuse and plug it into your fuse box, and ground it.
Took a couple minutes to install mine.
I'll show you a good place to run the wires as soon as I upload the pics off my phone.

Here's how I ran mine. Just run the wires under the plastic and up the dash.

a good meth controller will have an input for a pyrometer. When it starts getting too hot, it dumps meth, regardless of boost. Makes a great failsafe for a turbo'd truck thats still used like a truck.

alcohol injection systems is one of them.

here is a blurb from their site:
Users can also turn the system into a two demensional system by including any of the following 0-5v inputs; TPS, MAF, MAP, EGT and AIT, for even greater control and custom mapping which isn't offered by the competitors systems.
What you can do, is have a boost ref. for your main progressive meth curve, then set the 0-5v input to dump meth when the egt goes above a set temp.
