Final X-Charger items...
Ok guys, I think I have everything in place before I order my x-charger, but I just wanted to verify a few things first.
I ordered my Speed of Sound a-pillar gauge pod today. In it I will be putting:
Auto Meter - Nexus: Boost/Vaacum
http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugede...id=3267&sid=42
Auto Meter - Nexus: Fuel Pressure
http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugede...id=3268&sid=42
Along with their sensor module which is required for those gauges. I am holding off on the wideband air/fuel gauge at least for a little bit, i figure the fuel pressure gauge will be good enough, what do you think?
I will be ordering my x-charger tune pack from bamachips this week so I can ensure they will be here before my x-charger arrives so I don't run into a nuclearmuscle incident
(no offense nuc)
I have the FRPP dual exhaust, 3.73's, t-lok, frpp springs, tokico d-specs on the rear and nitto 555's, and bmp adj. panhard.... is there anything else that is a MUST HAVE before I order my x-charger?
Also, I am still undecided on if I should go with the HIPO (3" pulley) or HIPO Plus (2.8" pulley),I am leaning more towards the HIPO Plus because I want the most out of my x, but this is my daily driver and I don't want additional wear and tear. Suggestions?

those nexus gauges are really cool, i wouldve picked them up in a second if i could afford them 
sounds like youre good to go. i dont run a wideband so its not the end of the world if you dont have one. i think dougs tunes are pretty standard and should put you right where you want to be as far as a/f ratio.

I will get a wideband a/f, but I don't want it to go in the sos gauge pod. I will figure out some other place to mount it, and at a later time.
That what was I was hoping for, and yea I was not expecting those Nexus gauges to be so much, but I figured if I am going to do it, I am going to do it the way I want. Plus they mimic the mycolor so well.

Thanks,
For those who care, I just got off the phone with Dave at Explorer Express to finalize my remaining concerns, and I have to tell you, he is a great guy. We talked for 10-15 minutes after he answered my questions, and he basically told me "I am here to make sure you get the best customer service you need". All this from someone I haven't even purchased from yet.
I cannot wait till it is on its way!

You'll love the Nexus setup. That's what i've had in my ride, and it looks fanastic and performs great.
