firstly, does anyone know if evo x alloys fit on a 5 without any issues?

and secondly, what gauges do you recommend other than boost? :hm:

evo x alloys look awesome on a V
ill be back with a pic shortly :)

oil presure, oil temp and water temp.
try R spec for these as they do 47mm ones and a panel to fit in the single din slot under the radio evo 4/5/6

Guages are dependant on what you plan on doing if you are planning on more power later on an EGT,AFR,Intake temp guages are handy to have.

But for everyday use what has been mentioned above will be ample.

Also with guages you get what you pay have a browse here they not the cheapest but are quality guages in my opinion

Gunmetal would look the dogs :D

I personally would go for oil temp, oil pressure on top of boost. Too many dials and gauges just gets confusing, and lets face it, you look mainly at boost. I've set the other gauges to have alarms so if something's out the ordinary it will tell me rather than to keep looking at them.

You can set a max value for the gauge to read before it triggers an annoying alarm at you. I set it for more than 120 degrees oil temp and 2.2 bar boost. The oil pressure I've gone the other way round, it sounds if it goes below 1 bar.

Yes X wheels are 18" and they are slightly different design to tommi wheels :)

So is that what the controller is used for then ??

if i were to get a fuel pump and remap, would it be best to run with an apexi avcr or would another electronic boost controller suffice? at the moment i will not be looking for more power on top of that.
