Spent another $215 at Summit yesterday and got these:

0-1600°F Full Sweep EGT Gauge

-30inHg/20psi Boost Gauge

And the 0-100psi Oil Pressure Gauge (the one on the right)

I also ordered an A-Pillar Pod ($39.95) from SP Motorsports to mount them, and I went ahead and ordered SS brake lines too ($99.90), to help slow down the beast with all this new extra power!

Someone take my Credit Card from me quick! ha ha ha

Don't forget the Turbo Timer. You want to give the hot high spoolin' turbo a chance to cool down.

Then again with the PATS system this may pose a bit of a problem!

Yeah I would love one, but as you said the PATS probably won't let one work.

I think that as long as you keep the switched ignition power on the the pcm, it will not activate the pats. It only does the pats test when the ignition is first turned on. A relay that keeps the power on should allow the car to stay running as needed.

If you're right and it only looks for the PATS at start-up then it should work easy, without even a relay - I hope.

Passive Anti Theft System. That chip in the key that stops people from "hot-wiring" your Contour (not sure if pre-98's have it though).

I ordered an A'PEXi Auto Timer - it's a turbo timer, A/F ratio gauge (actual ratio!) and it also measures battery voltage, etc for the 'Tour, so I'll see if I can get it to work. http://www.apexi-usa.com/electronics_timer.asp

I got the S-AFC to work for us, so this shouldn't be an issue.

do u suggest using the apexi safc or the greddy emanage?

and how much was the apexi auto timer? btw, i just read about it on apexi's site and thought this was really cool, "To prevent potential theft while running, the handbrake safety feature shuts off the vehicle when the handbrake is released without the ignition key."
