The GReddy turbo kit is actually rather cheap here in Sweden... if you compare it to other kits (not necessarely GReddy) for other cars. I think the GReddy was about $4000 and I find that very cheap. Keep in mind all the extra charging for freight and the store want to make some money on it as well... Similar turbokits for lets say S2000 or 350Z is almost double that(!!!) I´ll definately have a GReddy-charged 8 before the year is over.

Congrats, I know you have to be excited....I know if it were me I would not be able to sleep until it came. And then I might just have to curl up on the couch for a night and hold it.

Check out the Defi-Link Meter BF. The gauges are back-lit and would match the dash fairly well.

Well, just ordered the gauge. Decided on the Defi-Link system Speed Racer recommended. Here is a to where link I bought it. I got the boost gauge and the control unit. I got the gauge that lights up white like the dash when you turn it on. I'm not a fan of the amber/red backlighting on the dash. I will be able to add other gauges at a later time since the control unit allows for expansion. Should have it the same day I get the turbo kit so I can install it all in one shot.
