False. The PFC base map is leaner than the stock ecu...and is reasonably safe but is certainly not pig rich. It will certainly need tuning with the higher flowing BNRs....

I believe the stock injectors and stock fuel pump should be fine with my modifications......hopefully......dp, cb, ic, pfc, intake, and all at 10psi

Also, I need some good recommendations on boost, water temp, and oil pressure guages. I am looking to get 52mm guages.

You don't need an EBC with the PFC, but the PFC uses the stock solenoids to control boost -- most aftermarket EBCs use better solenoids. And your friend is only partially correct, on an FD, you can lower boost to 7 psi with a controller. Your modifications are fine with the stock ecu -- you would be able to run up to 12-13 psi on the stock fuel system with a fine safety margin.

I always recommend Defi Link gauges -- they are extremely high quality and accurate gauges and the Control Link makes installation easier as well as providing some cool features.

I would also recommend Frank's (flyrx7's) tripod gauge mount over the Tri-Power picture you posted... http://hometown.aol.com/flyrx7/Rx7-Gauge-Pod.html

Holy crap Rynberg! I was going to get 2 guage pods because the tri-power guage pod could only support 2 and the one you show supports 3. Thanks for all the input!!!!
