Question What to buy???

Ok, I have about $900-$1100 to spend. Pretty much set on getting the Boost/Oil Pressure/EGT Stewart Warner Triple Gauge Solutions package from 42 Draft Designs (http://www.42draftdesigns.com/soluti...lution_swb.htm) for about $375 shipped & the radio relocation kit. Thats about $425 total. Now I was thinking of getting the GFB Stealth FX BOV & Hallman RX MBC Kit w/ Cockpit control with the rest of the money. Now i'm thinking of maybe getting a cat-back or springs and other suspentions mod or maybe a shortshifter etc... What do you guys suggest? I have already have a TurboXS intake & ACT street clutch. Please be respectful. Thanks!

Depends on what you prefer most: to go fast or look fast. If you prefer the former, then I'd say to go with Hallman Pro ($100), Boost Gauge ($100), DynoFlash ($200), Cat-Back ($400), and JDM MR BOV ($100). That's $900 and is good for 300whp with no driveability issues.

I'm not saying Oil Pressure isn't a great thing to monitor, but I'm not sure what you're going to do with an EGT gauge if you have no tuning device.

That's probably the best use of the money, performance-wise. ^

Really... I like that gauge set up though. Not a fan of the gauge pod on the a-piller or steering wheel.

That gauge set is really nice, but I'd go for the other goodies first as the others said. I added the 42 design panel with just SW Boost gauge for my dyno tune. Since then I added the Oil pressure and will add the EGT next. Its a matter of whats a priority to you. For that money if you make the most of it you'll be really happy with the results. Turbo-back, BOV, and tune will do wonders. If you can fit a Lower IC pipe that would be a + and would notice a big difference in performace for the buck.

From those links it seems a lot of ppl likes DynoFlash. Now I didn't read the whole tread but from the research I have done... Gonna stick w/ thew dyno flash.

I don't care for the gauge kit. It uses the oil pan drain plug for a tap for oil temp . Stewart Warner gauges EVO deserves better.

Well think I'm gonna stick w/ the flash & TBE. Really don't want to spend money on parts I would later replace. ie JDM MR BOV and a single pod w/ boost gauge. Thanks though. I'm up for other ideas though.
