I'm kicking around the idea of adding some gauges to my car - oil pressure, oil temperature, and AFR. This ******************** ain't cheap, but what's nice is that you can always pull it out of the car and transfer gauges/sensors to your next ride. So I see it as more of a long-term investment, rather than something just for this one car. I'm willing to invest a bit in this then, maybe $1,200 or so.

I've got an HKS CAMP system installed now, but unfortunately I didn't buy all of the sensors for it and that stuff is ALL discontinued. I can't get it anywhere. What are your thoughts/experiences with other high-end gauge systems like the Autometer Nexus, Defi-Link, PLX Devices, etc.? I'd like something which has the ability to warn you when you exceed some parameter. So far I like the Defi-Link the best, but I don't see that they have an AFR as a part of their system. The new HKS CAMP2 has just been released too, so I may just upgrade and go that route...

Thoughts? Anyone here have the Autometer 2 gauge pod for the steering wheel? It's the only pod mount I've seen sold for the Boxster, but I've never seen a photo of one installed.
