Wow! Thanks Mike for the pointers. Good to know. I figured it was going to be a substantial increase of braking capacity.

Yeah you'll definitely like the increase. Especially when combined with the SS brake lines. BTW love the stripes on your Coupe.

Sigh...another check engine light.

Fault: MVD1722 code 0x278D

Air-mass sensor, measurement range: air mass flow too low


Already working on the solution with the tuners. The runs crappy when starting it up and in 1st gear. With a huge turbo like this...the Manis Tune needs to be fine tuned a bit more.

Update: 1/25/17



P3 Gauge is being installed.

Also having the Manic Tune looked over again to see if they can fine tune it a bit better. It's been running fairly rough as of late.

Looks great, we carry and really like the P3 guages. It's an all-in-one. And with the color match it's seamless.

Looks like you have visual boost, but no navigation. Very rare to see that combo.

I'm stoked...love the way it looks. I spoke with one of the main guys over there at P3...got a sponsorship and might become a reseller with my car club that I'm making. Yeah I didn't want Navigation. I would literally never use it. Navi is ok, but pointless as WAZE updates every couple of seconds as opposed to every 10-15 minutes with satellite.

Are you sure it is properly installed? it doesn't seem to fit well.

The right lower side of the gauge bezel overlaps the vent ring and the left side to the steering column cover doesn't fit any better.

I don't think you can adjust the steering anymore to a desired driving position.

Love the look of this gauge and the functionality it provides. With the Garrett one thing you may want to keep in mind is that boost readings via OBDII are capped at 1.55 bar. So anything over 22.48 psi will not register except on a separate boost gauge or dedicated logging adapter with its own MAP sensor. Depending on the OBDII device/software it may round up to 23. Anything after that though and your left guessing.

Fits perfectly. Got the car back and I hit 18psi. Ooopha that baby flies!

I have the OBDII version with the analog kit as well. Best of both worlds. It's installed properly and it's insane. I'm not at 22psi just yet. I hit 18psi last night on the road. As soon as I get enough money to change the internals I'll be clocking that boost control to all the way up to 25psi. Then the car will be in full monster mode.

I appreciate the feedback man. Vlad is looking incredible BTW.
