Autometer are they good gauges ? i found some digital autometer oil pressure gauges for about 100 bucks or under. what do you guys say ?


I heard they are not worth the money. They are cheap and thats what you get. Hear they are inaccurate and are prone to breaking.

I’m not going to say yes or no but I paid a little more for what I have and glad that I did.

I would recommend AEM Tru-Boost or GReddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controller.

Just read a thread on scionlife that TT is releasing new kit with AEM FIC and harness for almost $3300.
Makes me think now, if i want to go with TT kit or Dezod, Paul at Dezod can give me S1 fully loaded kit for 4K., i wantd to speak to him of getting T.E.A. kit for 4K.

Do i make sence ?
What do you guys think ?

you cant go wrong with either company to be honest and that new TT kit you are talking about looks good to me. it all comes down to the power you want to make and how much you willing to spend to get there.. i can only guide you down the path, you have to walk it!

I just heard that Dezod is going to run group buy on their S1 kit. Price is like $3600 shipped. Damn tough choices.

Brandon on yout TT kit, oil lines are they stainless steel ?

Charge pipes are they mandrel bent?

turboing a auto isnt pointless or a waste it just doesnt have the capabilities that a manual transmission has.. you have to worry about a lot more things than a manual.. for example your tourqe converter, your trasmission is the biggest thing.. you need a trans cooler and oil cooler and the list goes on..

it comes down to how much power you want to make because heat is the enemy of ALL motors regardless of manual or auto and autos will heat up faster.. simple fact.

Ohh yeah absolutetly actually AEM FIC with PnP harness is already in the price as well as 550 PnP injectors so i;m getting complet kit.

Also i spoke to Todd about cut out he said its complete junk.

So your friend gets smoked ?

Dont you have to be tuned to run with cut out cuz its like NOT having exhaust ?
