    It really came out well, worked far better than I had expected. The guide I referenced earlier was really helpful. I didn't have to dremel or anything, there were just some tabs I broke off and shoved the universal pod holder in real tight, then secured with zip ties. It is rock solid and mega clean, AC still works too!

    Hey that's great you got it sorted with the FoST manifold, would you mind tossing this in the thread for the manifold so others can easily replicate it? Also that's a nice oil gauge I might be missing it but which one did you go with?

    You said oil pressure but it says temp does it do both?

    Sorry, it should have said oil temperature - it only shows temp.

    The below, it's wired to turn red with the headlights on. And for sure, I will toss those into the ST thread!

    Tuning is going great - turnaround time is about 5 business days, currently on Version C. Attaching a Wot 3rd gear log here in case anyone wants to see what flow is like on my setup - BNRS3, ST Manifold, XSPowerV3 EM, 3"JRB Intake, 3" Full catless Turboback.

    Power band is so nice, boost builds really smooth and the car just feels really healthy now, hard to describe. Maybe I'll eat these words and eject a piston or something as karmic payback.
