Nope I had it all set up, check boost pressure and plugs etc... I havnt used the car for about a year, You not seen the feature? no gauges. Its setup to run perfect as it is, and considering i only seem to take it to shows these days its been fine, just now im thinkin of more power its more important to get me a wideband in there and have boost monitored

Alright pagey matey

Thats mine in the second and third pic on the 1st page of this thread...

It was ok if your not running a radio mate. I would advise you not to go for an a-pillar one as they are a bad blind spot as I did it in my old silver turbo



I had a little play with my current one if I was to put a radio in and came up with this....

Think they're a universal dash pod turned over and then a base plate just needs making to fit the cut out left from the ashtray

Do people not find the gauges in the DIN slot too hard to read at a glance?

I have my PFC commander down and to the left of my eyeline, as I don't need to look at it so much, but my boost gauge up by the A-pillar as I keep an eye on that quite often. Wouldn't like to take my eyes off the road so much to look down and check my readouts...

OK mate. Yes you know I saw the feature but as that was over a year ago, and I haven't seen your car since, I didn't know whether you'd had some plumbed in. With the power and modifications you have, I just would of thought crucial gauges (ie: boost, oil temp and pressure) would have been in place to keep an eye on it. Especially with all the money and time been spent on it getting it to it's current status.
But never mind, that's just me
