Andy, yes it's the mappable ecu - I will run it over to gary for a map health check

What is the benefit of the V6 grill? .. I've looked them up and can't see a difference.

I want to hide away the turbo timer and move the boost gauge to the steering column.

Andy, what other gauges would you recommend?.

A version 3/4 grill sits flush a version 6 sticks out quite a lot
done a quick search on my phone and this is the later one
I did think the v5 had this grill though

Nice car Ben and in a great colour. Welcome back to turbo 4WD madness.

I would have thought the usual ones of Oil Temp and Water Temp are good ones to go for mate. Unless it has those already.

Has yours got that grill or is it on the list of mods to get

Ben, I would seriously consider an oil pressure gauge. The OE sender will only flick the light on when pressure is so low that by then the bottom end will have shat itself. Super cheap and real easy to fit.

Especially as you have just bought some R888's

Ah, didn't see the R888's post. Better consider one of Alyns baffled sumps and a KS3 knock analyser
