Need opinions on 3rd gauge
I've got two gauges on the pillar already....
where would you guys put the third.
Been thinking about the cup holder like a few of you have done, but other locations?
The turbo ships out tomorrow after the freaking 5 weeks extra I had to wait. As a peace offering, the vendor is getting me an full sweep electric fuel pressure gauge for $80....they go new for $179.

Pretty sure you can....
The first place I called said they could opt out of the fuel management (to go with something other than the MF2 and intake injectors).
FMAX buys the turbos from turbonetics. Just ask for a different spec when you order.

i say put the electric fuel pressure gauge in pod, and move the boost gauge between the tach and the speedo, on the back plastic insert that comes out.
call me stupid, but what is the pyrometer for?

just an idea for you......
Go to a paint shop and tell them you want some interior vinyl paint and you want something matched on your car.....they go out to your car with a bunch of swatches for vinyl paint and match the one for your interior pillar.
you spend 18 bucks on the paint and a special sprayer that will allow you to paint that black gauge pod the stock interior color of your car.....so it looks stock :-)
it shouldnt cost you more than 20 bucks, and it makes a HUGE difference in the look.

The Apexi auto timer reads air/fuel off the primary O2 sensor
It quantifies an actual air/fuel ratio instead of a bunch of flashing LED's.
Tuning should be done on a dyno with a wideband O2 not by a gauge.
