Looking good! When you get a chance could you take some more pictures of your rear diffuser and pm me. I've heard that some people had fitment issues with Euroteck and some gaps were quite noticeable. Is this the case with yours? I've been on the fence about getting one but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

BTW...your car is sounds hella mean in person.

was the install for the gauges expensive, and how did you do you a-pillar gauge pod? And how much boast are you running?

I am running around 8lbs of boost. I was told that the placement of the wire for the gauge affect the boost reading also by the time it travels through the system the boost levels readings become less.

I had the A pillar gauge pods custom built and custom wrapped with material that looks exactly like the stock stuff. The entire thing with install cost around $800. It is expensive but I like the readings so it was worth it to me.

very cool....and not too bad considering the gauges are expensive by themselves. So the boost is not that accurate?

Who makes the gauge pod is it custom? also what vacuum source did you use for the boost gauge.

a Rivera...via a Custom 24, Strat and Les Paul
Looks super sick
- makes me feel REAL good about the diffuser I just got from James

How's the steering wheel compared to stock? If you had to do it again would you stick with the DCT or go for something a little smaller in diameter like a black series wheel?

I actually think the BS wheel would be too small. I love the look and feel of this wheel.

The gauge pod was custom made. The vacum line from the gauge goes to the bottom of the intercooler.
