i need help, is this set up worth it???

 

Id have to say the HKS Type 0 or Type 1 in my opinion. I've used the Apexi and I liked it as well. But as far as my favorite I would do HKS again and again. Installation is easy as pie with the Install Harness and it functions perfect.

 

I have a GReddy Full Auto II and its awesome. I would get one for any turbo car I own without question. I was originally hoping to get an HKS and my g/f got me the GReddy for my b-day and I'm happy she did. Install is easy no matter which option you pick (especially with a harness) so thats a bit misleading but added safety features and the smaller remote display of the full auto II (compared to the fulle auto I. The only features that the HKS Type I has over the Greddy full auto are the rpm warning light and the 1/4mi, 0-60 and stopwatch features though I feel using them could be detrimental to driving safety. the type 0 is missing a bunch of features.

After saying all of that, if I were to go back and choose now I would probably go with an HKS Type 1 because I like HKS products as well and I like to play around with settings and features in technology (whether safe or not) but the GReddy auto mode based off of speed/RPM with Hi and Lo settings is idiot proof and definitely a set it up and forget about it type of unit. it always works the way it should and has a nice small lcd display. You can't go wrong with either (Full Auto II or Type I) is my thought on this. Blitz and Apexi ones are also good from what I saw in my research too. Hope this confused things more. Basically there aren't many bad options as long as you go with the remote lcd screen (which all brands use now) so you don't nee to cut anything or mount in a wierd places.

 

Very good! Maybe an updated version with the X in certain subjects?
