Gauges for Vortech
Ok so I think I figured out that DEFI doesn't make a wideband.
So basically here's my conclusion:
1) Triple Gauge Pod in Tan from Intensepower.com
2) DEFI BF Imperial Gauges in Amber for the Boost and Oil Pressure
3) Autometer Wideband A/F (like the one posted in the picture with 5 gauges going across the top of the climate control display about 3 posts ago)
4) DEFI control unit II
Is this all I need to get things going? Any other parts I'm going to need? Is the Autometer Wideband A/F (like the one posted in the picture with 5 gauges going across the top of the climate control display about 3 posts ago) 52mm or 60mm?

I don't have any night pix of the amber lit up, but here is my set-up. AEM wideband is on the bottom and it's 52mm. I got the gauge pod in 52mm and dremmeled it to fit the 60mm Defi gauges.

- Running lean while under boost
- Getting happy with the fun pedal before the oil is warmed up
- Running with no oil pressure at all
- Over-boosting
Other gauges are nice to have to see what's going on, but they won't really save your a$$. If you are A/T, trans temp is also handy (but that exceeds your three gauge quota).

I can't find that Autometer one that Slider has....Slider where did you get that Autometer Wideband?
I think I might just get all my parts together and bring it to Scott. I gotta put a new K&N on, New Serpentine Belt, and a New Cog belt along with all these gauges....

Yep that's what its looking like...I"m thinking with all DEFI BF gauges and an AUTOMETER wideband A/f installed and everything close to $1000. Better than shelling out big bucks to fix the engine after it goes kaboom I guess. Plus looks kind of cool

Yeah. My 3 Defi gauges, the Defi control unit and Innovate wideband all installed cost me $1000+. They are definitely pricey but they look great and work great.
