To sell or not to sell my Defi BF 60mm gauges? There weigh a few lbs but I like them. Then again I didn't use them once last year and left them off. Sigh. What do I do???

What do you need gauges for? Once its tuned I usually don't worry about it. Unless a monkey built your car, maybe not a bad idea then...

I don't think Dave B has a single gauge in his car either.

I have water temp oil pressure and egt. Why? I don't know. I liked them and back in my ricer days they seemed cool. I do not use them for tuning. The only gauges I use for tuning is wideband and boost which ill be keeping. The defis where on the A pillar.

Haha, I agree, mostly. I do have an AEM wideband gauge in my car, it's what I use to input to the Haltech. I put it in the glove box though and when I need to see it just open the glove box. I'll also have the Zeitronix FF sensor gauge in this year, also hidden in the glove box.

I have an AEM wideband in my glovebox as well, which is used for logging through my ECU when tuning. I also mounted it so I could view it if I suspect something is acting up although we do have the ECU to cut boost if it goes lean.

I need the boost gauge. I change boost settings a lot from street to drag so I need to be able to dial that in. The wideband I like because its insurance. As for the rest yea I guess ill sell them off.

^ Same here. I run an AEM wideband on the column pod and I have the OP warning light and FP light through the CEL on teh factory dash. (setup through the vipec...not factory "no oil pressure" switch)
