Hey man, looking forward to seeing your progress.
My biggest recommendation is to just check out everyone's build threads on here and see what parts work and what parts people are complaining about. Is this your first turbo build or just with an s2000?
I am also unsure of what you mean by "**just purchased the dual autometer gauge pod and AEM wideband.... i DIDNT want to have that but its the only way..." there are a few different solutions to gauge placement in these cars.
Good luck!

yeah i like the idea of the gauges on the phone if you need them, but this will be a daily driven car. what i meant by that was simply im NOT cutting up anything in the car or removing/changing buttons etc, but i know i have to at least have a wideband... but i did buy the dual pod, so im just wondering what other gauge i should buy.... oil temp?
this is my first s2000 turbo build, i had an integra before...but i was younger and i want to do a little more of a "professional" build.

ah, another time i thought i responded but it didnt send!
yeah , im excited about that! i do have the phone holder, and plan on using that to tune and when im at a track or whatever, but i do think i should have a few "very important gauges"
so today i got my aem wideband, and autometer pillar pod. got a 2nd bung welded into my invidia test pipe, and it works great
but still, what other gauge should i run!?
boost?
oil temp?
oil pressure?

are you able to link me to any good info on the tuning software?? im told i need to buy another valve cover, install 2 sensors?? and then i guess just plug in the ecu... is it that straight forward?

ballade sports now makes a straight plug n play according to them for 2500 bucks. Seems like a decent deal if it works properly. I would go that route if I had to do my build over.
