You'll get ALOT of opnions about which one's to get.
I would get either a PLX-R500 or Zeitronix ZT-2 (with LCD display and all sensors).
That way you can see boost, a/f, egt, and throttle plate position. Then get a wideband, oil temp, and fuel pressure to mount in the center console 3-gauge oem places.
If you want only the necessary, I suggest boost, wideband, and oil temp.

IMO Exhaust Gas Temp. is more important than Oil Temp. in a moderately boosted car.

the zeitronix gauge i have is a a/f gauge. that is what i am using now. nice for data logging but am planning on going back to to an A-pillar gauge type so i can see it while driving.

Like I said, alot of opinions about this, IMO, a wideband is a better option than A/F + EGT (since we don't have alot of space).

"PLX-R500 or Zeitronix ZT-2 (with LCD display and all sensors)"
How much do those run? Not familiar with that kind of wording
Wideband is better, hence AEM UEGO and there are others to choose from... A/F to me means a "accurate" device.

Defi D Gauges
Peking - Do the Defi D gauges need an external controller or does it work by itself?
Thanks everyone for ALL your input!!!
1) Defi D-Gauges and AEM
2) A/F, Boost, EGT
3) I paid for Boost $93, EGT $179, and the A/F $469

the D series do not use the controller - boost is mechanical, the rest are electronic.
These are just straight gauges though - no peak hold no play back, no warning levels.
The BF's use the control unit and have user definable warning levels, plus the ability to do real time playback - not for everyone, but useful if you have the need

Depending on the price and feeback from those who have personally experience with these items it wouldn't be a bad choice.
