Dont have the sport chrono. Can i install the pod and use it for a boost gauge for when i get my TPC Turbo kit? Would i need to cut the dash? It would def be a stealth setup like that

I am sure it is possible to add it to the dash, however the boost guage/control we use is a digital Greddy unit.

In the cubby in front of the shifter. Should have some decent video assembled tomorrow and I will be sure to include it in the video including how it works.

great. Can't wait for the vids! You guys recommend an AFR or EGT guage too or do you think that boost is sufficient. I've always found that if the kit is tuned properly, there not much of a need for additional gauges unless you track the car or want to be super cautious.

I am going to add a Sport Chrono "pod" to my dashboard for this 52mm PLX multi-guage. Ordered the pod from Suncoast, and install will look totally factory.

I'm going to use the PLX system, with sensors for AFR and Boost. In addition, this 1 gauge will also be able to feed in data from OBDII. The gauge face is 100% customizable, so I can create any look I want, or download one of their already created designs here: http://www.plxdevices.com/customgaugelibrary.html

Any idea if you'll need to cut the dash to install this?

I will need to cut or drill into the dash to create holes to secure the feet of the pod, as well as to run the sensor and gauge wires.

Wow! ... hadn't seen these PLX devices or thought to use the Sport Chrono pod to house the guage and then cycle through multiple sensors. Took a look at the PLX site and amazed that they have non-Porsche (aka reasonable!) pricing!!! Very cool Cattman, look forward to hearing more of your install and then I'll consider this for my TPC turbo that I'll be picking up in the next week at TPC in MD.
