I will soon sale my whole Defi setup HERE:

The gauges make it difficult to see the left side/corner of my view. It's particularly annoying when I'm trying to hit a left turn. My defi gauges are boost, EGT, and fluid pressure.

I was looking into the Defi VSD but apparently all their VSDs are discontinued (even the VSD X). The HUD is just frikin cool looking and even spits at all the information I'm looking for. I'm sure some companies still sell them brand new but a discounted product raises flags for me.

The HKS camp is cool. Anyone know if it can fit in replacement of the stock radio? I took out my radio and speakers a few weeks ago so I'm trying to figure out what I should fill that empty space with.

Anyways, I'm basically looking for something that will give me a lot of information, non-gauge pods, and visually appealing.

I'm open to suggestions if you have them.

I was looking at the VSD Concept way back for my 240...non-op HUD like most long term owners. From what I gathered the VSD was discontinued because it wasn't as accurate and didn't respond as quickly as a traditional boost gauge. I didn't know that the VSD X was discontinued as well.

Another deep-pockets option is the MFD from Ark Design, but you'd have to gut your cluster to do it (or find a way to make it fit in the Nav cubby).

Thanks Busy. I think I'm going to sick with HKS and get the Camp2.

Yo, I'm re-investigating this mod. I no longer think these after market displays are worth it. There's apps not that can display OBD-II information and are a lot less expensive... True they may not be as accurate but for myself situation I only need 89% of higher accuracy.
