Default Gauges

I love everything that AEM offers as far as the UEGO and the TRUBOOST... the only thing I kind of dislike right now is the fact that there is no needle that sweeps back and forth... but I love how you can change boost with a touch of a button and love the UEGO... I am just curious to see other options... now before you say search I have looked at MANY gauges... what I would really like is the autometer nexus gauges but hate that you have to purchase the unit with them.... any other ideas??? also I was wondering what alternatives were out there for a boost controller? I want an electronic boost controller, but don't want to spend a huge amount of money on it... thanks for the help!

I couldn't agree more, I said huge amount... I wouldn't mind spending 250ish on a boost controller... AEM pricing is where I am looking at... nexus is great, but almost too much show for the money... are you saying that I should look to spend more???

not boosted yet but about to drop a large sum on everything.. I don't want to order other parts late if I don't have to and want to make sure I have everything I need at once... I will be using the AEM f/ic to tune... I have thought about it but haven't decided on if it would be best yet or not... not because of the controller itself but I just like the fact of having two gauges in one...

whoa! how much power are you hoping to put down? 700cc's offer a ton of expandibility; i have 550's on my TT stage 1 and those should be good for 375whp+

honestly, and i am sure people will disagree... but if you have the change, i would go with a emanage ulti and a profec e-o1... but that is my own opinion, thus far i have been happy with GReddy...

I am hoping around the 325+ mark at 8psi... I will run this for a while as I will be saving for even bigger and better things... I am choosing all of this because of its expandability and once my motor is built, I won't have to "rebuy" items....

not saying the profec boost controller or all greddy products are bad, I just like where I am going as far as piggybacks are concerned... glad to hear you are happy with greddy though...
