I want something I can switch on the fly... so I would imagine electrical. What exactly sits in the engine and cab... what am I looking at running. Cause I can't do anything that will take me more than a Saturday cause I don't have a garage. I could always do the interior stuff one week and the engine stuff the next.... how long am I looking at to put an electronic one in.

Whats the reason for the screen? What does it display? Cause I know you can buy them w/o the screen. Is there any difference.

i'm not a big fan of guages mounted where u have to take ur eyes of the road.....i have my boost guage on my a pillar along with fuel pressure guage and my shift lite....dont like to have to take my eyes off whats in front of me.....

if u decide to get the e-01..the lcd screen would fit perfect in the sun visor...just takes a lil custom install work to fit n hide the wiring but would look pimp....

The Apexi AVC-R is a really good unit. That's what I'm running and it fits perfectly where your ash try is.
