Love the A/F Gauge. I went for the boost controller b/c the ability to have 2 boost settings and the max boost readout so I can keep my eyes on the road . Have you installed the A/F unit yet? If no and for those reading this you will have to take the high flow cat and weld an O2 bung on the turbo side @ a 15 deg. or better angle to avoid buildup on the sensor (very important).

I don't have it in the car yet, It is going in as we speak. I got a high flow cat just for that, I think this kit is going to make some good power. And then next year I can get some engine build up on this thing. Because this setup will be able to hood over 460hp with the turbo I am using.

Pursuit - did the a/f gauge come with an 02 sensor or are you using the existing one and re-locating it? Any pictures?

Pics are kinda hard b/c of heat shield being in the way but as compression said it comes w/everything you need. I will try to take some pics tomorrow.

Thank you for sending me the pics. They helped. The car is going to get minor tuning done tomorrow. And then they are going to save the best for last so I can be there. They have this rule. If the owner isn't there, they wont do the last dyno on the car. I think that is pretty cool, so you can see your OWN car run on the dyno and make the power. So there is no messing around.

I cant wait, I dont think I will be able to sleep. I need to call in sick or something.

Boosted are you selling kits?

Madmods - I'm back down to around 8psi. Mine went up to 11psi after the high flow cat was installed (for some reason). Aaron @ Hahn told me not to drive it at that pressure (probably a lean fuel issue) so I dove under the car and adjusted the wastegate actuator rod to bring the pressure back down to 8psi.
