Just plumbed up and wired in a boost gauge so I could actually see what's going on. At the moment it's just squeezed into the top glove box.

Just wanting to see where everyone else has mounted theirs!

How the f**k are they visible to the driver at full throttle?

Ubless of course car is heaps slow

you look at your gauges the whole time when at wot? i only ever look when i feel like something is wrong.

gauges are tuning tools or used as a tool on the track to check temps or pressure.

oh look 20psi.... oh wow it's still 20psi years later...

I should have said not my car, just liked the pic.

Not the safest to be looking at your glovebox area when driving.

You'd want your gauges front and centre in a race car but I like the sleeper look and just open the lid for test and tune on a back road in a street car.

That gauge set up pictured above is in my car now, the gauges are actually quite visible, can catch them with out of the corner of your eye well enough to see whats going on.

Cant tell you oil temp/pressure accuratly when im booting it around, but can see enough thay if somethings not going right I can shut it down no worries.

Boost, trans temp, and everything on the HKSOB link are well within normal viewing range.

Plus its sleeper as f**k and I enjoy it.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
