Hello All,
Thank you for your input. I ended up placing an order with Brandon this morning
FMII No Electronics Kit
Hardline oil/coolant line upgrade
Iconol studs and locks upgrade
Full A-pillar Dual gauge pod upgrade
AEM UEGO Wideband
I have already ordered:
MS DIYPNP
Deatschwerks 600cc Injectors
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
All I need to order is AEM Truboost gauge/controller
Then further down the line, I'm going to upgrade my radiator and exhaust (currently stock other than Racing Beat muffler)

You making this into rocket science? Boost gauges can be the regular old mechanical gauges and theres no benefit to going with an electric one for 4 times the cost, actually just the opposite, theres less **** to fail for the mechanical gauges. U dont need a controller for those. Just a vacuum line which you will have going to the MS unit. The gauge that comes with the fm kit is the mechanical kind.

$70 vs a $300 boost controller/gauge

I'll just get the boost gauge from the FM kit. Less wiring and hassle.
I guess my only concern, and why I was going to get the truboost is how good is the kit itself able to limit boost? Or will that actually be able to be controlled by the MS?

BCS? Don't know what that means, I'm assuming 'Boost Control System'? haha
And that is the reason why I didn't get the Flyin Miata boost gauge in the kit and why I was going with the Truboost. It acts as a boost controller AND will be my gauge.
