I'll give impressions later. I switched to turbo though, for those wondering what's up.



Also, the Valenti Revo tails I cancelled came in anyway.

Honestly there are only a few I really like. This is the SBD kit. It's pretty proven at this point and they've made a lot of nice improvements, especially in recent months. If I were going to go balls out no price limit, something with a Borg Warner EFR.

Finished the turbo install early last week, almost done with the tuning process.



Did a small mod tonight too, some multicolor LED strips. Messy interior, need to vacuum.

How did you get that gauge setup on the stereo screen? That looks really nice btw!

I have a pretty deep hatred for large obvious gauge pods, so I had decided early against A pillar gauges. My only hard gauge is an Innovate ECB-1 with combined AFR, boost pressure, fuel temp, and ethanol content.

The head unit runs Android 5.1.1 and displays soft gauges through a simple OBDLink SX USB cable and either Torque, or DashCommand apps. I generally run Ambient Air Temperature, Intake Air Temperature, Engine Coolant Temperature, Engine Oil Temperature, Short Term Fuel Trim, and Long Term Fuel Trim.

I think he was wondering how you got that display on the stock head unit. It's hard to tell from the photo that it's aftermarket. Which unit did you go with? Backup camera still work? Would you buy it again?

That's why I specifically outlined what the head unit runs as far as being Android and what apps and hardware I use to make it work. Most if not all Android head units are Rockchip processor based, so really they're all the same, just different looks. Mine is a Joying.

If you want more information on wiring there's a thread with a ton of information myself and a couple of others came up with in the electronics section about 2016 head units. There are also numerous threads about the different Android units.

Edit: Also, at no point have I said I have a stock head unit, and it was one of the first things I changed because Starlink is garbage.
