Sweet, it's gonna take a Pro to wrap this baby!

But not impossible: did you ever checkout Bruces upholstered example?

I have not... beige suede with pink stitching to match his thong?

That's more my style as befits a Lingerie delivery vehicle...

GAUGE OVERLORD!!!

Option1:
I just realized I can hide the AEM Failsafe Wideband gauge in the dash somewhere and log it via serial to USB/Tactrix and display it via analogue output on the GT boostgauge VBG1...

Meaning a really stealth install with no PROVA vent gauge pod needed!

Option2:
Or I could uninstall the GTboost gauge...

Option3:
Keep both for gauge overload!

This is the sort of choice I just love to make!!!

Either way, I'm planning to connect the AEM failsafe ground to the ECU side test mode connector, once the AEM is configured properly.
Comments? Advice?

Now has anyone got their gauges dimming at all on the roller???
Worst case scenario this will be a job for a DIY voltage inverter project. BUT:
This AEM gauge has a software configurable illumination wire: 12V or ground.
Connect that to what in the cabin fuse box (or any wire) using a fused fuse or wire tap?
Preferably its got to dim when the dash is dimmed using the roller switch on the dash as I drive with my lights always on (seriously!).

Keep them both Benny. Gauges are good

GAUGE OVERLORD II

So just for fun I want to run both boost gauges concurrently.

Primarily this is to confirm if the VBG1 does read 1-2 psi "high" or is simply both accurate and super sensitive to transient boost conditions.

Can I just add another Tee to the existing vac/boost line already installed? (in effect, a serial connection?)
OR should I run a second dedicated vac/boost tube from the BOV hose? (in effect, a parallel connection?)

Keen to gauge members feedback

Pretty sure you can just chuck in another T and away you go.

Hey Ben, where are the interior shots?? I want to see your STI steering wheel. I'm guessing you got it with the drivers airbag?

[bigBADbenny]

Pics coming soon... Stll doing things...
Hit the google link in my sig and enter "STi steering wheel install" as the search term.
Just the wheel for now but an STi airbag maybe in the future

That's why I have a plan BBB. I forgot what an eyesore the AEM is... Maybe???

[bigBADbenny]

AEM failsafe is in the coin box and running at last!
Not yet configured but showing AFR's and lbs...
GTBoost Guage is diplaying AFR's too via the analogue input...
Serial cable connected but not tried yet.
Ill play with it more after the footy...

Who did the install? Westall Road?

[Kekotic]

Nice Ben look forward to the pics.
Also could you have chosen a more annoying colour for your signature? Lime green come on man!
