Spent the better part of this past weekend installing
"AirbilsSemiStealthV1"(tm) and at long last, les boost gauge. These S
projects seem to rely more on thoughtful engineering/planning than on
the actual install. That of course leaves more time for liquid
refreshment:) in preparation for upside down reconnaissance under the
dash.
Wound up removing the ashtray (very easy) and installing the V1 remote
and boost gauge there. Dremelled (love that tool) an A pillar gauge
holder to hold both the boost gauge and the V1 remote beneath it.
Jammed it into place beneath the radio.
Not a bad location considering that the mute button is now right by my
right knee and the light for the boost gauge easily tapped into the old
ashtray light. This is a very nice but temporary solution as I want to
fashion a cleaner face plate. The V1 main unit I basically screwed into
where the mid visor over the mirror was. If anyone wants more details
please email me.
Now that I am ceritfied for 27psi (nice) and I finally installed the rs2
FPR, I am wondering if while I am fabricating some dashboard real estate
I should add an air fuel meter? I can see the benefits. Are these hard
to install? Recommended sources? Any other needed gauges? Downpipe
temp etc.?
Lotta questions I know, but hey you guys got me into this :)
TIA
