I have AEM gauges, there is no combination of gauges other than AEM for boost and AR and its a red display.
why not use the SS box or go utec.

Most likely SS box but everything I've done before TT was to build up to TT.. But I want to set up this build for Built Motor and next step up =) so a part of me wants to do the ECU now (stand alone) or just to SS

One of these days I'm going to load up on Nexus gauges, but I'm going to use dual Innovate WBs and their associated gauges for AFR.

^ where have you been? O.o never on G forums anymore?

haltech is whats being considered.. but want to let the tunners get to know that system better.. whatever standalone I use it'll be up to the tuner I want to go with what they're most comfortable with.

Are you saying that 11.5 AFR on a stock block twin turbo engine with an inferior piggy back system is OK?

I hope not.

Klumzyee Please do your self the favor of investing in some type of standalone EMS, even a ECU flash is better than the SS box.

Tests pipes are going to be louder, and you will be able to smell the exhaust more.

But you almost have to run them on a twin turbo car, the gains are just so huge.

They will be louder, So I would recommend a set of Resonated test pipes and if you could get a GReddy EVO TT exhaust, that is the quietest exhaust (what I am running)

Eric, do you remember the gauges in my car when you drove it?? Those are the Defi amber gauges. I got them because they are close to the color of our stock gauges.
