it will bolt on but there are some small concerns that need to be addressed...so no its not 100% plug and play if thats what you're asking.

Whats EGT? Also I don't remember if I asked already but is it hard to adjust ignition timing and fuel management? And what do you need to adjust ignition timing and fuel management?

Basically, by reading the temperature of your exhaust, you can tell how hot it is in the combustion chamber.
On cars now and days, ignition timing is controlled by the computer but there are two ways you as the modifyer can change the ignition timing:
1. Using a device that lets you alter the timing via PCM (example: HP Tuners device)
2. Replacing your ignition system with an ignition system that allows you to change the timing on the unit itself (example: MSD DIS-2).
