Dude save your money. Don't boost a few minutes before you get to your destination or sit in your car for a minute or 2. Save like 100 bucks

Get a Greddy with a PnP harness. Took me all of about 30 minutes to install. The hardest part was figuring out where I wanted to mount it.

Wow, you have all those mods and no TT?

Anyone know if the pnp harness for viii/ix/x would work on a 08 gts. cant imagine the wiring is drastically changed... worth spending 20$ to try it?

LOL, touche'. I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. I'm sure someone else who has gone down that path can tell you though. Good luck man.

I have the Apexi with HKS harness and really like it. Its nice having a battery voltage display without getting another gauge.
