The temp gauge on our cars sucks . It doesnt move at all untill it is to hot already . How many times have you heard of a stock oil pump go bad or lose preasure ? But adding FI to our cars will more than likely put much more heat in it than running NA . How many times have you read threads about over heating with a boost car ? ALOT !!!! I'll be adding a temp gauge to my car !!!!!

I still need help with gauges... is it really this difficult to buy gauges?

Boost, A/F, and either a Temp. gauge or fuel pressure gauge (by the same company preferably) or atleast where they all match nicely. And fit in the 3 gauge Apillar gauge pod.

I'm having absolutely no luck.

My Defi B series gauges - 60mm Amber (Boost, Oil temp, fuel pressure) should be here tomorrow if UPS tracking is correct, and I ordered the tan A pillar from intense motorsports.

I'm going to try out some new pullies (CNR), which are OEM size, but just lighter and balanced, and if this guy replies, I'll be picking up some Crawford cats for a decent price.

If everything is delivered on time, I'm hoping to have this thing installed by the end of the month.

Hopefully soon... I'm tryin to contact a few different places to see what the price is gonna be for everything to be installed... I'm just waiting on these gauges, and then the pullies which I should be picking up next weekend. The SC should show up sometime this week and thats about it. I was hoping the SSV plenum would show up too, but I haven't heard anything on its ETA yet. I'm hoping by the end of the month it should be installed, TS reflashed, and tuned.

Nice stuff, the Defi gauges are nice exact set I ended up with. What are you doing for A/F? The L Spec flash is probably a good idea as well as a good VB upgrade.

I'm waiting for Nick over at GT Motorsports to give me a call back for a quote for installation of everything and some prices for gauges. If the price is right, the process will begin this week.

I don't know what's going on with the guy who I was suppose to pick up the Defi's from. Good thing I didn't send him my money yet.
