^^^ that is a good point.
installing the sending units, adapters, and running the wires is the most difficult / time consuming part of the install so you could get that out of the way and pretty much tape them to the dash where that evo-r pod would go.
not the prettiest thing in the world but we're not out to win any trophies, just want something functional for the tuning day.
how much does evo-r sell that pod for? I'm on their site but it won't let me click on the pod for details & price.

the tube version looks good, definitely not as bulky as what Phil has. How are they held in or is it one big piece that replaced the top panel?
the MS replica looks quite nice as long as it doesn't come with that big logo in the center.
3rd option looks like 52mm

Kit is in great hands but will look it over as well. They worked on the car all weekend to make sure the car would be ready! The install took a little longer than expected due to weather, holiday, and some issues with the kit. But they got it handled. FD3S Engineering rocks!

Get a new front crush gasket if you can. The rear donut can be reused several times, but the front really should be tossed after each crush. It may seal, but why waste the time changing it twice?
If you could get it installed prior, that would be great. We will however have time there to do it there also. I will have tools with me. So, really makes no difference.

Do you need the base turbo map installed to drive it home and to the shop? Or are you going to drive like granny and stay out of boost?
