whats the box on the center console by the shifter, the one that is just hanging out there | Top A-pilar is my old boost gauge which I don't even look at anymore, I'm thinking about relocating oil pressure to there. Lower gauge on A-pilar is a DB gauge from Innovate who makes the LM-2, I watch that one alot so it's staying right were it is. The silver thing hanging is my turbo timer that doesn't work. I'm haven't even looked at the wiring yet but will mount it like yours when I get it working. Shift light is a top quality piece for a good price, easy hook up and accurate. I think I paid about $120 for it, completely adjustable witout pills. It's blue too and when you have .6~.8 seconds to shift from 1st to 2nd and less then 1.7 to get from 2nd to 3rd I need a shift light to do that. | | | | | 10-02-2009, 02:30 AM | #64 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

If you want to know how to do it I will show you. Once you do it no other car ever feels the same. It's so quick and feels like no other car. I totally love it and everyone that ever drove it loves it. It's not too bad on drivability and hits the gears perfect. I little bend hear and a little cut there with new spacers and you have the best short shift around for less then $70... | | | | | 10-02-2009, 08:00 PM | #67 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |

I have not messed with it since I'm saving for the Garrett GT30/70 BB water cooled so I don't need a cool down period. Just need to figure out where to find the $1,000+ for the turbo. If I get this in there I should spool around 2,400rpm and oil changes will not be needed so often. I might even consider a GT28 since I can't even use 70% of the current turbo's capacity without over-boosting... Do you have a set completion date? If so I need to notify Mark D the coder so he has code ready for your car, he can be a little slow because he has a real job that pays good and does this as a side hobby for extra cash, but he is the best I've found | | | | | 10-02-2009, 11:10 PM | #68 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

Jean ~ thanks for the wiring on the turbo timer. Got mine all straight and mounted just like yours  Had two wires reversed, dumb but easy once you explained it... | | | | | 10-11-2009, 07:23 PM | #70 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Auburn, WA Posts: 1,814 |

I wanna get the speed signal from the ecu too but I haven't look at it yet, I let u know once I get around it so we can have both safety features __________________ 5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | | | 10-12-2009, 04:50 PM | #71 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |
