Default For those of you with Defi Gauges

Ive been doin some searchin around S2Ki and cannot find the answer.

Ive decided to boost my s with a comptech. i want to get some defi gauges as well tho. i was thinking about just starting off with air/fuel and boost.

now with these gauges i need to purchase the Defi Link Control Unit II dont i?

now the install is not too hard for someone with basic knowledge of electronics and engine?

and anyone haver a website with the best deal?

thanks in advance

The Defi gauges do not display air fuel. Not all the gauges Defi makes requires the link unit. The popular/nice BF series does need it though.

Installation is pretty simple and is only four wires that needs to be hardwired.

oil temperature is a good one to have if you are turbo. Fuel pressure is a good one to have if you are S/C.

Oil pressure, oil temp and water temp are the essentials in my mind (after AFR and boost).

Keep in mind that Defi now offers non-metric (i.e. psi/F) gauges too.

I would say oil pressure and boost are the best to get if you just get 2.

I would say to pm bc02. He's in my local club. Great guy. Very knowledgable about Defi gauges and modding the s2k in general.
