My pod is sitting in the house waiting on gauge to come in, then I can let you know how it goes.

Right now, I'm just going to have the Nordskog Oil Temp gauge there(see below pic.....this one is oil PSI, but this is the only pic I could find with the silver bezel). Anyway, I'm seriously thinking about going with this eventually........ http://www.plxdevices.com/products/dm100obd/
Note how much customization you can do.

As far as the wiring, I really can't see it being that bad, but I'll let you know once I get it in there. Maybe a DIY with pics as I go through this.
Rotr8................you actually wired yours yet?

i guess im going to be the guinea pig.. im going to do the install today so ill let you know how it goes..

13bturbofc 11-01-2008 10:33 AM

i can see the only real hard part will be drilling a hole in the duct...you cant fit a drill from the top because of the widsheild so i will have to do it from underneath or do it by hand from the top..i can see already its going to be a bitch...trust me

Mazurfer 11-01-2008 10:36 AM

Any tips found out................please share. I was going to poke around in there today as sort of an exploratory look. Was betting I'd have to cone up through the bottom. Shouldn't need a very big hole in the duct........just a matter of getting to it......but I haven't looked yet at all.

BTW - How Cool is this gauge I had made for her?

:rock:

Looks good Kane....................although I'm suprised it's not angled in just slightly more since I believe they were made originally for the 6's before he started making them for the 8's.

Rotr8 11-01-2008 09:49 PM

wait thats not even an 8,,,
mine is going to be installed thursday...

Kane 11-01-2008 09:50 PM

A - Do it yourself!!!!! :lol:

B - It is the Atomic Grocery Getter - Kimi's MS6 but the same guy makes the pods.

Rotr8 11-01-2008 09:51 PM

Kimi has a MS6 and an 8???

Kane 11-01-2008 09:52 PM

Well; technically I do - but yeah basically....

Rotr8 11-01-2008 09:57 PM

Kane 11-02-2008 12:47 AM

Rotr8 11-02-2008 08:05 AM

paulmasoner 11-02-2008 09:22 AM

damn it, now i want to get rid of the scan gauge there, and add another gauge.

bump AFR over to the vent and add water temp on the dash center... :(

Greenblurr93 11-02-2008 01:08 PM
