Anyways, if you do, can I pick it up tonight after work sometime?

In that case, I apologize!

I do like the radio relocation kit. but its alot easier to read the gauges when they are right in front of you as you are driving

Just let me know.

sounds good. let me know if you come around the area tonight, if not I can swing by tomorrow or sat. Make sure not to tell anyone about the super secret spot.

meh i dont really look at them when i am in a pull. I do like having the audible overboost warning though. I just need an audible knock warning. of course that has nothing to do with location. I did email prosport and they will be releasing a higher boost gauge for diesels and high boost applications. So hopefully 2009

its funny, I used to not be able to look at them due to the massive g's

, but after a couple years I can finally look at the guages while doing a pull or 1/4 mile run. An audible overboost, lean afr, and knock count would be nice

nice! I too like the ones that turco has. For the price they are much better quality than you would expect.

yeah on the track i had time to somewhat look around and check things. The street things can get dicey unless i am on the highway. I posted in one of the ecuflash threads to see if we can output a signal for knock like they do with the CEL. If we could get a signal we could probably hook it up to any sort of warning system

That is why you put the important ones on the steering column (AFR), and the others in the din spot

how does that work? What does the gauge say - is it just like a shift light that warns you?

Look above the tach needle:

It will light up to the right as knock increases.

oh snap! that is sweet! What is that actually there for though?

The patches now have two different cel flash speeds fast for a high threshold and slow for a lower threshold. I like the audible so if i am not looking down i know to just let off.
