2 questions.....

[youngy_315]

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

found it

cheers for the replies.

they look as good as i thought they would.... might get them in gun metal though....

 

[Steve220]

Gunmetal would look the dogs

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.

+1 For Defis you pay for what you get.

Not sure but aren't the x wheels 18" !!
I believe the TME wheels are the same with 12spokes only 17"

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 ??

i thought they were. i did look at the tme but might be able to get hold of some x wheels easier

am i right in thinking there wont be a problem fitting 18's?? she isnt lowered yet or anything...

Yes it is Along with other functions as well.

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.

3port solenoid with the std ecu ... no need for standalone controller
