Hey all .. Gauge is going in friday for Sundays run.. :whistling:

Could not get the clock replacement from Mearcat in time ..

So thinking of putting it low in the drivers side dash vent near a pillar..thoughts on the cop and defect factor ?

Or top of steering column offset to right "kinda blocking temp gauge" installers choice ( Mate )

Also left side of steering column under wiper/indicator arms as kidafa said he and chef runs it there?

Thoughts on WTF I should do would be fanf*kintastic :thumbsup:

Any chance that would get hit by your knee?

Even maybe by jumping in/out of your car....

Im looking into using one of these from an E36 BMW. Fits in DIN slot. Replace the clock with the boost gauge and it will all look tidy. :laugh:

That's very neat indeed; buttons could be used for boost control?

Not much of a photo, but thats where I have mine. I personally haven't had any cop trouble for it, but im pretty sure its defectable in most states having it there. Up to you if you want to risk it i guess

Nup didnt get a pm buddy.

Like 180 said I'm pretty sure it's a defect in our state to have it where he has it, just ask yourself "do I really want to risk it"

I don't really wana risk it..but they say below eye level and dropped into the vent hole makes it alot lower and hell lower then the dash clock!

Getting it put in today at 2:30 and i really can't decide! Lol >_<

If not looks like top of steering wheel column offset to right " kinda in front of heat temp"

Anyone running one there? Does it get in the way? Photos? :whistling:

Momo is a Dayz option, same as the Momo Shift levernyaanyaa.gif

That gauge just runs a 90 degree brakcet off of the cup, strange desin, but it means it is screwed straight into the side of the column cover

refer to amazing schematic drawn with a specialised CAD program

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
