Recommended accessories

Electronic Boost Control kit

No need for an old-school bleed screw! Let your new ECU take control of the boost with this electronic boost control solenoid and make use of boost-by-gear and rolling boost launch control.

CANchecked CAN display gauge 52mm

Transmit all the data you need over 2 wires to this handy 52mm Gauge. Choose from 10 different views to display any ECU data such as AFR, Boost, Temps, Pressures and many more

Exhuast Gas Temperature sensor

An EGT sensor provides crucial data for optimizing engine performance, detecting malfunctions, prevents overheating when used with engine protection strategies.
