#5298, "My first 'mod' for the Evo" May-25-07 06:28 PM by cs82685
Well since my ZT-2 spends most of its time sitting around doing nothing, I decided I'd spend a little extra dough on the boost sensor and display and install it in the Evo. Plans are for it to only be used as a boost gauge (keeping an eye out for boost leaks) since I won't be doing any tuning on the Evo. I'll still be switching it between the cars along with the boost sensor probably, but at least it will be put to use every day now. I eventually want to make a cover for the storage bin it's in, but that will come another day. Anyways here's a few pics from the install
Woohoo, now I know that I'm only seeing 19psi peak, didn't do any full pulls to see what it tapers to though.

Yeah, yeah, I'm trying my hardest not to mod it. But am already planning out when I can get a flash and trying to decide on an exhaust setup, lol.
edit: oh and in case anyone was wondering why I tore the bottom of the dash apart to install it, I purchased a turbo timer harness so I would not have to hack any wires up to power up the zt-2. Worked beautifully, I didn't even need to cut up the harness, just crimped the power wire for the zt-2 to the wire on the harness

Very good #3! When girls see my switches they ask what they're for, so I have to give them a whole explanation but when that's over they look in awe and are like "wow!" lol, I really don't mind it too much!

Looks pretty good Corey, how's visability during the day and at night with the placement there?

So far I haven't had any visibility issues with it during the day and well I haven't had it out at night b/c I've been driving the Eclipse, but I can't imagine it being worse than in the day. I'll let you know in a few hours when I get back from Pirates
EDIT: Looks good only problem I see with the digital gauge is it's constantly changing #'s so sometimes it's hard to actually read the number whereas a needle gauge is easier to read in that respect.
Edit again. Noticed some glare today while driving around
