if u are bone stock then no, u better off getting something else?
wide band is just telling you your air/ feul ratios( pretty much a tool to make sure u dont detonate your engine), if u go lex/550/afpr,walbro and an safc to tune then YES u need a wideband!

u can spend that extra 300-400 $ on a BIC DP to give u more power, but thats just me, or just use it to do some maintence if u havent done it alrdy..

I think a wideband is very useful, and I would definately invest in one.

As far as the timing, thats up to you..
I'd say its pretty important after any fuel/turbo mods.

Yea don't get it yet but a wideband would be essential with further mods to your fuel system and boost

If you're planning on going with fuel mods in the near future or are going to up the boost, you might as get it FIRST that way you know what's going on with you engine before and after you do those mods. Call it preventative maintenance if you want ;).
