could somebody help me get an idea of how hard wiring these up will be? I'm thinking about adding them sometime soon but i don't wanna buy them and see that i can't install them myself.

thanks in advance

Any reason you would want the voltmeter?

That, and when the car doesn't have a volt gauge like mine, and you are stranded somewhere because the battery took a crap and you knew nothing of it since you couldn't see what was going on...

The voltmeter is easy. You just need to tap into a good ign. switched source. The oil pressure you will need to remove the sender, and put a tee in, to have the sender for the gauge, in addition to the one for the car. Or you will have no oil light in your cluster to alert you if there is no pressure. Unless you want to watch the gauge, instead of the road.

If you had an '03 up, you would also get a CEL.

Then you need gauge pods either on the A pillar, or the boost gauge location/other to mount them in. The wires will need to be routed to w/e location you wish. This may require removing the dash panel. Which isn't that bad.

For a more detailed explanation, a simple search through the How To section would have turned up this:
