Default quick mock up, what do you think?

Just a quick mock up, nothing final yet. I'd like to hook up my MAP-ECU in the glove box like that that way i wont have to pull the carpet back and go threw hell to get to it to tune it. It's only an extra foot of vacuum setting it up there vs. the floor board.



The gauge will be on a pod along with an AEM truboost guage (haven't got it yet)

I wanted to kind of retain a luxury/sleeper style. So it think it would be rad to hide it all, then press a button and drop the glove box when i need it.


Also.. this is where i'm at right now on my NA-T



It a Precision billet 6262. dual ball bearing.

XSpower mani that I chopped up and welded a Tial 44MM flange to.

I'm also going to recirculate the dump pipe before i put it in.

I'm actually on the line about this one. being a luxury car, hiding it would be ideal, but then it's kinda pointless to have gauges if you can't monitor them at all times... I'd probably do it over by the ash tray/cig lighter considering I don't smoke (anymore yay)

Did you have to run any hardlines to the map sensor?

also where did you get those guage pods? those are the exact style ones i'm looking for

Um yeah lol i wouldn't hide the wideband nor the boost gauge. I mean it defeats the purpose and incase your getting bad numbers on the wideband...you would want to know before you blow your car up because you wanna ride sleeper. You can still put the wideband in a very sneaky area and be able to read it without totally taking your eyes off the road.

I have mine in this spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pVLnnWwUSE

And whats the point of putting the MAP ECU in the dash? Your missing out on the fun of taking your carpet out and doing it the real way!

See...this was the BEST part!
