Well, she's under the knife! Hopefully get her back the middle of next week. Having the APS single turbo installed with Unichip. Gonna keep her under 400hp, likely 380 to wheel. I'm very psyched, need to think about gauges and placement. Can hardly wait...install and tune bu CarV2

I'm not saying get the same brand of gauges, cuz they are pricey, but wideband, boost and oil pressure should tops on your list. i saw some pretty custom setups on placement, but i like where James put mine. putting them on the a pillar makes them easier to see while driving, and the lack of a bulky pillar helps with outward vision. ask the guys to let you sit in my G at the shop and judge for yourself.

Thanks bro. Yeah, I need some gauges, but I can only swing 2 right now, so Ill probably opt for the wide band and boost gauges until I recover financially lol.

Those two are probably the best to get initially, IMO. i would still put them in the same spot as the shop car. hit me up if you got anymore questions.

How do you like the PLX wideband? That's the one Jay proposed to me

Got my car back and all I can say is "holy $hit!" Never thought it would be this strong. Tuned by CarV2, 10 psi 395 hp at the wheel, 415 torque. A little nervous about the psi but they stated it's in the tune. I'm debating on dropping to 9 psi or keeping as is. I do have a wideband A/F gauge and psi gauge, as well. They did top job, nothing but props
