Defi BF series - Oil Temp
ATI Center Gauge Pod

I plan on replacing the stock boost in a couple of weeks but this package was to good to pass up.

It took me a total of two days to install all my gauges...time consuming!

You're going to need an oil filter sandwich adapter for your two oil sensors. EGT requires a drill, vice, thread tap, cutting oil, and center punch. Also, PB blaster to get the manifold off...

You'll have to do an oil change when you install the sandwich adapter, as you will have to remove the filter to get the adapter installed. You honestly might as well thread the oil sensors in and run the wiring up and tie it off when you do this, since you're already down there...

Anyways, gauges are not as small a project as they may seem

what type of event? i'm VERY interested in getting some track time this summer.

from what i've seen, the alk shouldn't be too bad to install, and i know the sways won't be bad.


now, lemme think of what i should order...?.... avic (z1 or d3?), stage 2, springs, so many choices

Springs = need air tools. ALK will just be hard to get nuts off, it's pretty simple in essence.

I'm waiting until May because my summers are stored at home in Michigan (FTW) so I have to wait until there's pretty much 99% no more snow...also, the timing works out because I'm installing my sways that weekend in May.

I hope you guys are good with tools, cause you're all hoping to install not-too-simple mods

I got it from Mark at RevSpec they have a package for boost, oil temp, water temp and control unit for 650 shipped so I put a package together of what I wanted and he gave me a price $885 shipped to my door. I talked to Rich at AMS some may know him from P&L and they quoted me:

Defi link control unit II-$115
Defi BF series - EGT-$299
Defi BF series - Oil pressure-$299
Defi BF series - Oil Temp-$224
And that was without the CF triple gauge pod and they wouldn't have to ship them. With the gauge pod I saved like 200. I looked all over the internet and RevSpec had the best prices for the gauges.

I'll pick my preferred dates once I confirm which weekend I won't be on-call for work. Also, I would offer my garage too (but not the cleanest garage), and it's detached so we will have to do it on a "somewhat" warm weather ...
