PM Goosegoose if you are really set for STS. He's selling his kit and that come with a bigger/better turbo already.

goose goose has probably the most complete sts kit on here.... he's been around for a while and has shown no reason to think he's anything but trustworthy.

goosegoose is a stand up guy. He doesnt post here a lot but he does check in. Just PM him, he's been through a lot so he knows the dark side of being FI'd. The last thing he want is to screw someone. I'm more afraid of you screwing him... j/k... Seriously though, I vouch for this guy and he will come through as long as you do the same.

The first 1-2 years is the hardest. This is the time when you really need to compromise. You are not single anymore so there is a lot of fighting in this stage, this is the stage when both of you had to break your bad habits when you were single and trust me you will fight for everything that you are used to doing. Once you have past this stage you will eventually know what is worth fighting and not. I've been married for 5 years. Looking back, I couldn’t believe what we have done to each other on our first 2 years of marrage

I have a WB, Boost and Oil Pressure (G35 don’t have Oil Pressure gauge). IMO WB, Boost, Oil and Fuel pressure will be my top 4 choices. Depend how many gauges you want though, they all server a purpose so you can have 2 or 5+ gauges for that matter.

yeah boost and a/f are a must with any turbo kit imo, however if you get an ebc which I would off the bat with this kit that can double as a boost gauge. Next on my list would be fuel pressure and egt gauge

Goosgoose kit also has an extra resonator before the turbo which I think helped with reducing the sound. I have my stock oil pan for 3 years without an issue so I would go spend that extra money somewhere else. I dont have an Oil Temp guage though... I dont even have a tubo timer because the turbo is in the back and can cool down very fast.
