[s-cars] Davtron Intercooler Gauge Installed

[Cody Payne]

Gents,
    Just got done installing my Davtron Intercooler gauge.  The gauge is
very slick as it shows intake charged temps, post-intercooler temps and
the delta of the two.  I ended up cutting a 1.5"x1" rectangle hole in my
ash tray..no smoker here.  Routed the wires under the drivers kick panel
and up though the relay box.  Tied in to ground and positive leads under
the kickpanel also using a multi-meter to probe for a lead that I could
tie in to for 12V power upon ignition.  Took about 2.5 hours to get the
job done but could do much quicker now ;-)
 
Just a quick run around the block I can tell you the Apikol FMIC
(24"x10"x3.5" Garrett Core) is doing its job.  I saw charged intake
temps as high as 120 and post-intercooler they where within 3-5 degrees
of ambient temps (going off what the Audi temp gauge said what was
ambient)!!  This is all with-out cutting the bumper cover.  The bumper
core is cut.  I am sure if I flogged her more then just going around the
block I would see higher temps..but so far so good!
