1st incarnation of the gauges.

I need to make a trim piece for the gauges. That will be my project next weekend. The trim for the ac controls was bought last week but it has not arrived yet. I will post pictures again when the trim gets installed.

After driving the car the boost gauge is so much easier to read high in the dash instead in the 3rd cubby hole.

When ever I install the AF display I will mount it where the radio is now.
And the radio will go into the 3rd slot.

I also painted the silver trim around the radio black today. There is still too much silver in the radio. That will be next months project.

As far as date logging I think I am going to go with http://www.autoenginuity.com/index.html
But I clicked on this board sponsor today
http://www.durametric.com/
these seem to be very similar products. I am going to do so Googling and see what I can find about the two of them.


Sorry about the cell phone picture. But the quality camera is sitting on my desk at the office.

Moving the AC control was a bigger PITA than I thought it would be. But I am happy with my placement of the gauges.
Whenever I get the A/F meters in I may do a double DIN Carbon Fiber panel but I have time to think about that one.

The next step on the mod front.......
I am going to delete my only pair of cats and install a set of electronic cutouts for the exhaust. I will be able to run almost complete straight pipes or quiet it down for when my wife is in the car or that cell phone rings. The only question I still have is weather or not I will run the cutouts via boost or a switch.
With this mod Turbowerx feels I will getter faster spool and possibly a little more boost.
The exhaust mods may be 45 - 60 days away it all depends on my mechanics schedule.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
