Looks like EGT and boost? Where are you putting the A/F guage?

What are you doing for timing control?

Good luck with the Procharger, I had one a long time ago, they are great units if installed/tuned correctly.

the guy who owned the kit before me said that an A/F guage was not needed...timing control.....please inform me?? I have the Greddy E-manage Ultimate for tuning, and the Procharger FMU that i have not installed yet...

That is the dumbest comment I've heard today...please get an A/F gauge It is the single most important gauge you need, next to boost. EGT is actually pretty unnecessary with an s/c, not not bad to have.

And yes, the Greddy EU will control your timing.

Dude, YOU NEED AN A/F gauge!!!!! When you're running lean and your **** is about to blow, you'll realize why you needed one and it'll be too late. Spend the $250 on an AEM and put it somewhere. Ask anyone on this board and they will tell you the same.

Before you have the shop install the greddy EMU . You might want to do a little search on the unit . Quite a few guys have had trouble with it . The Utec might be a better option for you . Good luck ! Have fun !

From my understanding, the new firmware fixed the coil issue so that shouldn't be an issue anymore...don't know what other problems existed...

Ditch the EGT and get an A/F.

A/F should be the FIRST gauge you get.

I wanted to keep a stock look, too. I installed both my boost and my A/F gauge in the back of the center storage area (where your elbow rests). I can't see them all the time, but I can periodically check them to make sure everything is ok.

I then went a step further and have the UTEC data and A/F displayed on my stock navi.
