Hey gang

It's good to be back on SAU. Unfortunately I have crossed over to the dark side by purchasing an Evolution VIII MR.

So, I've started making a list of things I want to do and have come across the placement of my boost, oil temp etc gauges on my a-pillar. However there's a question mark over it for me since I'm not particularly sure if this is legal or not (for driver vision reasons) and was wondering how many of you have experience with this. I am in NSW by the way.

Cheers

Shanil

depends on what the copper really thinks, although i had a mate with a 32 and he had 2 gaugues up the pillar and got defected, and another mate had the same setup on a s15 and it was overlooked. i believe to be 100 percent legal the gauge needs to sit under the height of the top of your steering wheel.

I've got 3 gauges on my evo 7 a-pilar and never have I been questioned about them at all. A while back I got a major canary, full emissons test by epa and everything was picked on except my gauges, turbo timer and anything that was wet carbon fibre. So to have tmu, vic roads and epa to go through your car as if you've been smuggling drugs, than i'm sure your fine. This is pure anecdotal evidence :)

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
