Well, no need for BOV but boost guage i recommend a DEFI guage if $ not an issue. If you are on a budget OMORI is ok or pick up a OEM Lamco on the boards.

defi gauges are great, search on google and you'll find some sites that sell them. The defis brand new will run you about mid 200s, but they look good. Search on youtube for video of the start up and shut down sequence.

P.S. dont get a BOV, search and you'll find out why.

For the record, IWSTI has many vendors who carry Defi gauges as well. Support the site before just googling some random place.

And the advice you guys are giving the OP is very good. I advice new members to read the sticky threads at the top of each forum. You'll know more than most if you do.

I am actually looking into replace the OEM stock gauge with something that would show PSI. However, I am not very good with this stuffs? Am I suppose to be able to get something that can direct replace my existing one easily?

thats a pretty good deal i paid 20400 for mine then put 1k down

i wouldnt have traded in the corrolla though u should have sold that car prior to buying this one or keep it as a daily driver cause gas on the sti is pretty bad

I just bought the DEFI's from Jason at Integrated Performance. He's a vendor on here, and he gave me a killer deal.. I would Pm him and i bet he would hook you up with a DEFI boost gauge and Link Controller for pretty cheap.. good luck
