Purchased the Defi BF guages from Mauromotorsports.com they had the cheapest price and then gave me a discount and dropped the shipping price for me. Very reasonable.

Do you know where you want to put the EGT probe? What's going to be the only "hard" part.

Shucks. We would have sold you that 3-gauge/control unit package at a good bit less than what's advertised on that site.

I heard that if you put it in the uppipe it will leak, I thought the exhaust manifold would be a better place to put the probe.

The Exhaust manifold is where you want the probe, anyway. The uppipe is supposedly too far away.

You'll also need to figure out where you are going to get your oil pressure readings from. There is a place (plug) right below the intercooler, but you will probably need this Subaru part to make it work:

11024AA210 - Main Gallery Plug

The other option is to try and use the one up by the alternator.

That's where I put mine,

even easier to get to if you have a FMIC. But is his sender the right size?

Tim,

That part you listed, is that part where the sensor attaches to and it is fitted between the engine block and factory pressure switch?

That's the one. In my case the Omori sending unit is actually over by the factory boost controller and has a line running to the plug where it screws in.

Here is a good resource for the OP install:

BTW, the washer part number they reference is generally not needed as you can probably reuse the existing one.
