The only thing im not diggin is how big the guage pod is. I think it would look better if you put the guages on the pillars or trim that guage pod down a little bit so its not so big and bulky

yeah it is bulky. i was kind of limited where i could put it. originally i bought the ati dual gauge pod. but with my gauges the steering wheel rubbed the gauges and there was no way to modify it. so my friend made this which used to be smaller and was going to go on the dash but right behind the steering wheel but there was not way to mount it because the back of gauges were hitting the vents under the dash. i would have to cut the vents somehow. but maybe i could trim the height a little bit and just sit the back of gauges lower into the dash. but for now its gonna have to do because install and tune right around the corner. thanks for the input man.

I thought i emailed you back, check your other thread and see my list of things you should get fixed while the turbo is being installed and not have everything get you later on like its happened to me. HEAT WRAP EVERYTHING!!! Forget the gold ____ Todd sends by decent heat wrap and wrap that down pipe before installing, TRUST ME!!! You dont want to melt things like i have.

Who are you getting to instal your Kit? it'll be nice to see another boosted xA in the Tri State although Simmo is taking his apart now.

Nice List, I'm sure Todd has a very good kit, The pics look good and I've read and heard nothing but good things about it, but you may want to think about adding another $1500.00 in parts and about $4000.00 in Labor. You may want to contact Eloy about Rods and Pistons. I found out the hard way LOL Good luck with the build I'm sure you're gonna be pleased.

Did he blow it up? What type of engine management? Good tuner? Something wasn't right. What type of kit did he get? This kit doesn't put enough power to hurt anything unless you are doing something wrong. People boost their car and then beat them. Not giving enough time for break in. I'm getting a base tune and after running for a couple weeks will return to tweak even more for finer tune. Things have to be right or something will go wrong as Simmo is probably putting in a new motor. Anyways thanks for the heads up and will post after install.

No problems with his xA other than the guy that installed his stereo equipment screwed it all up and has him down a bit. he has the Greddy kit with the emanage ultimate he's booting 6 on the low and 13 on the high side of the controller, The guy he uses for a tuner in my opion is the best in the state, None of the shops I went to in the cincinnati area wanted my money. I'll have to tell you the story sometime.
