Usual ebay rules apply.

Check feedback, look for feedback on similar items sold in the past etc.

Try and get a recommendation from someone that has purchased from said seller.

Test out the seller with an email or two (may be difficult with the language barrier).

Hmm where do you get piller pods from?? also what does a vacume gauge do? Do you have to drill the sump for oil temp and pressure gauge??? Is oil pressure worth having on a revod LCR?

by the way Moff, is your car remapped at all

just one thing i have experienced before with a cheap boost gauge was it was ok as standard, but as soon as it was mapped, and pushing about 20psi, it needle rattled and vibrated like mad!
