Here's my one and only defi imperial white boost gauge which reads in lbs. Defis tend to read a little high, or atleast the boost one does. Peak boost reads at 6lbs with the comptech blower, but it's closer to 5lbs...

Might as well make my post interesting!

My STI's cockpit from 3 months ago. Don't mind that fuzzy thing, it's gone now. My ex put it there.

Just incase there are people playing games in this thread, some of the moderators can read IP adresses and can determine if one username comes from the same adress as a different username.

i also personally know the owner of the blue STi and i also know who trueSTIowner is. they are 2 different people so i don't think that there are people playing games here.
just don't like people stealing pictures of my friend's car and claiming it's theirs.

Oddly enough all the STI pics are taken with a Nikon D80... yet the pic of the TL-S Cluster doesn't even identify the camera... save the pics and look at the EXIF data... elkayem obviously stole the pics... is the TL-S Cluster pic even his?

I think I am going to go with either the Cobalt or the Nexus from Autometer.

These should match an 06 pretty well

maybe the picture of the TL-S is not his, but he does in deed have a black TL-S... he's been raving abt it all over other not so related car forums... but no he does not own the sti...

Wow that sucks about people stealing crap. I've had my show accord photo swiped by some company selling body kits. So I understand the anger...

BUT can we stay on topic with gauges please? I really don't want this thread to get shut down, If you guys can take it to another thread or PM that would be great
I believe this thread can help those wondering what the options are on gauge selection and placement in our TLs, so PLEASE, take it somewhere else. THANKS!

I don't want to clutter this thread up anymore so I will just tell you that I deleted the iGOTnoSTI user name so stick with the one you are using.

^^ indeed. If you search ebay you will find a pic of my TL back in it's early stages. Some dude is using a pic of my car to advertise the spoiler he's got for sale.

elkayem... Dude. What teh Eff. I wouldn't appreciate it if someone pretended my TL was their own. There's no sense in pretending about things like that, so why do it.

Idling it reads vaccuum which is around the 20 mark. When you're driving around out of boost it acts as a mile per gallon gauge, where the more open the throttle is the closer it gets to boost, and when you actually open up the throttle enough to enter boost it starts reading the boost, anywhere from 1lb up to 5lbs.

Also, I want to add that the imperial white version of the defi lineup matches almost exactly to the colors of the non type S gauge cluster, (blue, red, and white)

You will need the Defi link meter, and the boost gauge. If purchased new, the link meter is around $115, and the boost gauge is around $260.

Anyone seen the Nexes by autometer? Watch the demo on the autometer website.

Looks pretty unique.

I love how they light up when you open the door... when I saw that in the dealership I was sold. And when the car is off all the numbers and everything are blacked out, love it.
They should have done the same thing with the TypeS gauges and only changed the colour... not the whole design. But it's more unique in a way.
I'm really liking aznbo187's set-up... want to trade TL's man? (jk)

It's ok bud. You don't have to disappear into thin air. I don't know you, and most people here don't. But I could lend you some advice that could be beneficial in your life so you don't have to feel like you've done something wrong. I'm a criminal justice major, and some of the things people like me are interested in are the how's and why's as to why different people engage in delinquent acts. What you've done here is not extremely normal, and if this trend continues with you, further on down the road you might end up in some legal trouble. Being 19, you're at your peak for engaging in criminal acts, and after 20 your chance of engaging in crime will start to decline. So just take this into consideration the next time you decide to pretend a particular car is yours, when in actuality it's not.

..the scary thing with OMPs car is i think the 13.2 run was without the intercooler, so it's possible he might break into the 12s!!!

If you ran high twelves you will be my hero! Slicks or track tires should help you break into the 12 second realm.
