What do you want? What do you need? Do you need help maintaining your turbo? Or do you need extra stability in your chassis?
Well are you turboed already? If so get the Boost Gauge and Turbo Timer. But IMO I would get some ones offered here in the US because your probly paying like 300$ for something JDM when you can get the same thing for $200 or less and get matching gauges for Boost, EGT, Fuel Pressure, Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure and a Pod for the same price of the boring looking JDM one.
Strut Bars shouldnt cost more then 100$ a piece IMO. Tomei Strut bars would be cool though since ive never seen one. But then a strut bar is a strut bar...

get a boost gauge, if you want "JDM" then get something like a blitz or apex or HKS
why do you want oem boost gauge? people swap them out for a reason....
turbo timer, any of the above. dont get caught up with the JDM BLING BLING.
strut bars, i've seen the tomei once, i'd go for the NISMO ones myself if i had achoice, but i opted for a AVANCE one, lovin' it.
anyways, u ca find lots of cheap boost gauges on EBAY or searching the web. even the classified forums have them here occoassionally
short reply: dont get the s15 one. you dont NEED a turbo timer (just sit in your car for a few minutes)
i'd say go w/ strut bars and a boost gauge of some sort (even autometer works PERFECTLY OK!

if you are turbo you really need a good boost gauge and a good turbo timer. jdm doesn't matter as long as they work.
strut tower bars, well, to be honest my front one made a big difference but the rear one I couldn't really notice as much... my sunroof doesn't squeak as much when I drove over uneven surfaces so I guess the rear one tightened the chassis up but it didn't make a noticeable difference in driving.
I got both my strut towers shipped for 40 bucks, but that was a total fluke.
Given the choice, I would say take the money, and get a used turbo timer off ebay AND get a front strut tower bar.

i hear the S15 boost guage is difficult to wire. what does it come with? just the guage or more?
