if you were to get three of them, which three would you get (please put them in order of importance )

i was thinking:
1)boost (the one im looking at also shows voltage when you first start the car up)

2)oil pressure?

third one im really unsure about to be honest i think that theose are the only two that are really needed? oil temp or air/fuel mix?

something ive always wondered is how come people buy a boost gauge if they have a boost controller?

as most boost controllers tell you the boost your running and are more acurate so how come people buy another?

on the subject

if no boost controller then
boost gauge
oil pressure
EGT

I dont know if that was aimed at me ;) but by control unit i meant the Defi control unit

for the BF Gauges:
Defi-Link Meter BFs need to be connected to Defi-Link Control Unit II. Up to 6 gauges can be connected and controlled by one Control Unit II. The name of the connection system is "Defi-Link System." Defi-Link System allows gauges to be attached to Defi-Link Control Unit II with a single "DAISY CHAIN" wiring system.

well its CIF so that price is Cost, insurance and Freight, i believe the import cost to get it here will be no more than £1100 and then you have MOT, Tax, Registration on top of that, so the car will definatly be cheaper :)

i can talk to Reiji or you can email him, i am good friends with him so i can see what i can do for you?
