Do you think you could make one that held 2 gauges? Boost and Wideband...

Uh PoizentC, I need one that holds 2 gauges if you can fit it. Where do you want me to send the $ to and how quick can you mass produce about 20 of them for us Scion Lifer's?

That's a cool idea but it sits way to low to monitor boost levels. I'm putting mine right on the steering wheel base where the flat spot is. That way I can see it without taking my eyes off the road. Gotta love digital gauges.

I like that concept. I guess I need to see one installed to see what all it blocks from view and how clean the install looks. Did you get one yet and install it?

Hey Munch do they have one of those pods available for the tC yet? Or is that a universal one?

Just wondering but i belive Davids tC-t from www.thescionstore.com does not have that coupler bent like that, looks like the turbo is clocked. But then again his whole kit looks different, he says its a ZPI stage 0 wtih FMIC kit. Here is a link to the thread about his car https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=81452
Can anyone offer an explanation for this. One from a ZPI rep would be grand. Thanks

if poizen doesnt want to make more of those guage holders, id be willing to make some. I have plenty of experiance in fabricationg custom das peices. The only thing is, id need some mounting cups to get the holes the right size. PM me if interested.

Also great job on the peice! it looks really nice. I cannot wait to see a vid.

If you'd be able to make one of those gauge pods Munch posted up, that would be awesome. I know quite a few people interested in them. I'll see what I can do about making more gauge holders for everyone. I want to try and fit 2 gauges in that space.

Btw I have some parts coming in this week so they should be installed Friday or Saturday and I'll try and hit the dyno and get it tuned. Look forward to updates soon.

David was one of the people that got a one off kit that was installed before the final kits were 100 percent. You cant just design one kit, mass produce it, then release it to the public without getting a few out there and making sure there aren't going to be any issues. Thats just obsurd. All of the kits that were installed at our shop had slight differences. We'd try something, like it or hate it, then adjust the final kit accordingly. Just part of the R&D process. Poizen's car also has custom piping so as not to stick through the bumper.

What does clocked turbo mean? Or clocking the turbo? My guess is that it just means it's positioned in a different angle.

you're correct
the clocking is the angle the exit of the turbo is pointed.. if that makes sense
