Default Too many electronics?

Well so far in my 08 si I have just a boost/vacuum gauge and flashpro. And on order i have oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp on order. It might be exesive but I dont trust oem gauges and i like to know what my motor is doing. Plus i love eletronics, oh and i have kenwood touch screen dvd/navi.

But I guess my question would be, if I buy a turbo timer and boost co troller, will that mess up anything with the flashpro?

you dont need a turbo timer. flashpro has boost control built in.

Very nice kit, A Turbo timer has nothing to do with 'boost control' It keeps the engine on to idle till the turbo cools down enough to not have the oil coke up inside of it usually a must for oil cooled only turbos and good for extra insurance on water/oil cooled turbos. As far as electronics go, Simply upgrade your battery to a higher CCA and you should be good. My Si's getting an 800CCA battery soon.
