XViper -- but isn't coolant temp a reading of the coolant after it flushes out of the engine? Some people have commented that since it's an "after-the-fact" reading, it's accuracy is questionable, whereas oil temp is right in the heart of the engine reading...

With the higher compression, I do notice that I'm running a hotter engine even with the Spoon thermostat/switch...in fact, I'm fairly sure that the cooler thermostat/switch is what's keeping my engine in "normal operating temperatures"...hence my concerns about accurate engine heat readings...

I have all 5 greddy electronic gauges in my car. If you get the silver face one. The color lights up exactly the same color as our interior lights. A lot of supra and turbo cars all relies on greddy. Comes with 3 years warranty from Greddy. Comes with all the neccessary hardwares. It's what I recommand.

Thanks for your input EVO -- I appreciate it.

By the way, did you also use the universal pod pillar mount Greddy offers?

If you are looking for exclusive, I like DEFI
Going for looks and attention, I like Apex-I
Going for name brand, I like HKS
Going for JDM, I like Blitz
Going for performance, price, warranty, reliability and best of all. user friendly
