Just a little tip for anybody who is at the stage of routing pipes/wires down the t/tunnel, it would be a wise decision to add a few extra wires that do nothing but go from end to end of the chassis, I knew I was going to fit water/meth injection at some point but thought it would be an easy retrofit.... WRONG was I If I had put them in when it was easy to do so it would have been a breeze.......SO if you plan to retrofit stuff later on say after IVA don't its a right PITA

got some el cheapo gauges from China and I am pleasantly surprised at how clear they are even in daylight I have just mounted them in a rough pod fashioned from a blown vinyl torque wrench case and mounted so I can see them through the steering wheel, oil temp, boost and oil pressure, my state of tune means these are the most important ones to monitor.....apart from the rev gauge which I seen hitting 8k:eek: recently, (stage 2 map does away with the 7.5k rev limiter ):)
anyway this is what they look like
