So the main reason for the dual aeroforce gauges is to supports some extra sensors. I bought another iat sensor for the the intake tube. I want to see what temp the incoming air. I have 2 coolant temp sensors to see wht the temp is in the intercooler tank and what the temp is leaving the heat exchanger.

That should give me enough to play with and to see if all this crap is worth it. Time will tell.

It will be very interesting to see all that for sure.

I really am blown away at the improvement at cruising speeds. Great work.

Well you saw the results of running with the sysyem unhooked. I had no idea it could impact it like that.

I made a couple shake down runs in boost today. Only 10-12psi 60-90mph The new rear suspension setup and tires held 2nd just fine. No spinning. Meth psi hit about 100psi. IATs initialky jumped about 15* and held that. The recover time was insanely fast like 4-5 seconds. I got a few bugs to work out. All in all i am happy.

More to come.

Can we see it... If I didnt know better I would have assumed it was an aftermarket radiator.

Does it block airflow to your actual radiator at all? Anything noticeable with coolant temp?

Wow! Looks awesome Corey! I need to come over when we both have time in our schedule. I'd love to see all the changes in person and maybe I could experience the 10-12 psi????
