well there after looking at your harness, it appears you have an 05-06, whoops yea your profile says that lol im an idiot Anyways i didnt know this was occuring on 05-06? I thought just 07-08. I can look into yours alot easier as i have a good diagram of this harness on hand, i just needed the pics because i assumed it was an 07-08 and there isnt a schematic of that harness out there, i will start looking at it shortly and hopefully start posting some answers tommorow from work, if you dont mind if we could communicate further on this via email as i hate to steal a thread on here, if you want you can give me your email or just shoot me one, my work email which im constantly in front of 8:30-5:30 m-f is nicholas_pound@dell.com

Definitely get these gauges:

Boost
Wideband
EGT
Oil Pressure
And why is that ? whats wrong with AEM ?

I can decide on the boost gague, i know Defi is real good , also i was leaning towards AEM tru-boost due to it being boost gauge and boost controller at the same time...

It's not that I've experienced anything wrong with them.. although there have been complaints of their Wideband not being very accurate (don't quote me.. its what I've read on DSM and Honda forums), and I've heard *some* people havings issues with the tru-boost. However, my thing with AEM is just that I feel they're not worth the extra money. I feel the same with Defi, Greddy, and Blitz. I rather use Autometer.

Yea i love my autometer guages, unfortunately i think the heater on my wideband 02 sensor failed, it doesnt read accurate afr until ive been driving for about 5 min, before that point it seems to think im constantly at 14.5-14.8 afr lol, than after it heats up (around 5 min of normal driving or 1-2 min of high rpm) it reads normal
