No problems, Jorge. The piece reflects light which kinda sucks but other than that the texture is 99.99% there and looks very nice. for under $70 bucks you can't beat it IMO, both for looks and functionality. The only reason I sold mine is to mount a monitor there for my CarPC. I now have the Racing Beat ashtray gauge pod and having the gauges down there sucks for visibility.

I wonder what that pod would look like if it was piano black just like the face of the radio HUD.. so the piano black flowed all the way up the dash...

just get the RB unit since it matches the piano black.
Not everyone likes the gauges down there but for N/A cars I think they're fine.

I thought the PTP one was custom.

Not really "custom".

They used to "make them"

Now they stop producing them.....

IMO custom means closer along the lines of custom making it for your car=everyone is difference.

Eg: DIY, Driving into a shop and tell them how you want it, and them making a mold just for your exact need/dimensions

I thought this thread was on the tru boost functionality and not on the guage pods :P

Im trying to figure out the best setting for the tru boost. Ive had it for a while now and I have all the settings on the lowest they go. I had it on A50 and B52, felt WAY fast, but felt that it was spooling up too fast (almost over boosting). I think the main think i need to figure out is the spring pressure. I have no idea what greddy's spring pressure is. w/o this dialed in, the boost controller is clueless and wont work like its supposed to.

any thoughts on this?
