for the most part yes... from the sensors to the ignition to the fuel. It just depends on if you want to run your factory cluster with some systems, then you'll have to "splice" into it for that.

And there trying to sell you the one with dual wide bands. You only have one down pipe on a single turbo app. No need for a dual wide band anywayz if ask me. I will pm you.

Single WB (only 1 turbo ) That price is for the datalogging capabilities w/o the use of a laptop between runs. Its 200 bucks less w/o it.
thanks

Im probably just going to go with all mech. gauges anyway as Ive always wanted to do a cluster on a f-body anyway. So when I get one, Ill just pull the factory stuff.

I have gauges too but I am using my speedo, rpm and oil and everything.

I do have IAT gauge, Oil pressue, Fuel Pressure, Boost all of them are Nordskog Digital Gauges

I am tuning via my laptop. You have to have one either way. One pay the extra for BS3 to save it and still have to download it too a laptop to change or a have laptop connected full time to log. Your going to make changes all the time anyways so I did not see the reason behind the extra cost.

I did have the following

Eboost2
2Step
Dynojet wide band
HP Tuners

Sold it all and went with the BS3.

I am working on a badass mount for the laptop also.

Keep in mind I am a 2004 Single Turbo """"STREET""""" car.
