Hi, guys, I only saw one other thread on TPMS in general and the few builds that include Stack's very nice but very pricey race application pressure and temperature monitoring system (Stack TPMS "lite" = $3k).
Leaving aside the Stack system, it appears my two options are an aftermaket general-use system (of which there are plenty) or an OEM system adapted to an aftermarket use.
The freestanding aftermarket (non race-spec) units look shabby and cheap. There are a million variations and they all scream Taiwan. If I build one of these into the dash and it craps out, I am stuck replacing it with the same kind and suffering the same problems.
The harder, but more reliable and quality, option would be to retrofit a factory OEM TPMS set up into my car. Every car has them now, but I don't know whose would be most "free standing". Has anyone done this? Any advice?
