Boost controllers

I'm doing my build for my FD and currently I have this following boost controller/gauge in a 60mm single pod a-pillar

http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/tu...0e%20boost.htm

I have the chance to pickup this boost controller locally used

http://www.rx7store.net/HKS_EVC_Vl_B...20evc%20vl.htm

I've wanted to run a triple pod a-pillar gauge setup. Do you think I should sell my current one and buy the HKS which then frees up my a-pillar for my gauges?

How do the two products compare?

EVC is an excellent controller. The 3 guage A pillar mount I don't like so much. There is a tendency to hit the lower guage while turning the steering wheel. I removed mine and replaced with the 3 guage set-up that mounts in the speaker opening in the center of the dash.

^^^ do you have any pictures of your setup? Does it come in 60MM? I'm thinking if I go with center speaker setup, then I can keep my E-boost in a single 60MM pod, and then run 3 center 60MM pods, wideband a/f, and two others

60mm is a little bit big in my opinion. I have 3 gauge pilar mount and have no problem with the steering. mine is 52mm

Are there any good 52MM gauges? I was really set on the Defi BF's but they only come in 60MM correct?

There are the Defi Racer series but they only have Boost, pressure (is this oil? fuel?), temperature (is this water or oil?), exhaust temperature, and volt gauges available

Those are the Defi Racer models, they only come in 52mm, I was talking about their Defi BF models, which I was going to get and only come in 60mm

When you look at the site for the racers, my question is they show gauges that just say, pressure and temperature, what pressure and temperature are they going to read for, oil pressure? fuel pressure? water temperature? oil temperature?
