Didn't want a pillar gauge pods and with no top pocket to replace I have been running with my boost gauge and some switches lose in the centre air vent!!

Decided it was about time I did it properly



Another gauge will be going in the left when I decide which one to buy.. probably SPA dual digital oil pressure and oil temp.

I like it anyway

ejector seat, smoke screen and bullet proof shields!!

check engine light history, maintenance mod and combined reset the ecu.. the other one switches fuel maps and boost target... (ie. ScoobyEcu on / off)

lol

I like the idea of the switches. Did you make any allowances for stopping the ScoobyECU switch working while the engine's running?

Jolly how are you getting on with your scooby ecu?
Took mine off till I get my gauges fitted to be on the safe side.
But when I was running it I found it difficult to feel the difference between the j1 resitor being open or closed, is that what you are switching in your setup?
I have my96 uk with mapp for full decat and air filter, Boost should be around 1 bar. Did feel it pulled better at lower revs so probably more of a torque increase than bhp.

Nope.. can switch at tickover with out a problem, have switched when on the throttle once but it went into safe mode.. hardly suprising.. used shielded cable so not to get signals down the wires etc..

Yes I am switching the resistor you cut..

Mine is obvious change.. 1bar rather than 0.7bar now and more torque lower down the rev range.

More than happy with it.
