    Most definitely! They are about useless down by the stereo and dangerous when driving at WOT.

    BTW, I'd totally went side mount but I got ripped off by this prick on some DSM ones. He sold me the 2nd gen or whatever that's just as small as stock. (I hope he's reading this! Dick!) The other side mounts were so expensive and I basically got a FMIC for free so that's the way I went.

    Could not find the thread on this, but I have contact info:

    I'm selling them for $270 (includes main unit, pressure sensor, boost solenoid harness, lcd screen, rotary knob, wideband o2 input / auxiliary input harness, power cord). +$30 for Boost solenoid, +$15 for MUT serial cable (94+ 3S vehicles, or 95+ DSM vehicles).
    My boost controller can safely lower boost if you have knock -- none of the other boost controllers can do that. Second, if you have an alchy/water injection setup and you run low on fluid, the auxiliary input wire can safely reduce your boost for pump gas boost level. I don't know enough about the HKS solenoid, so I can't recommend using it as a substitute. The AEM style boost solenoids I use are inexpensive so you don't have to worry about ruining expensive solenoids with an alchy/water injection kit. Yes any MUT serial cable will work as long as you don't have an extra unused wire on pin 6.
    Couple more questions,

    Is the air intake temp sending unit stock or I would need to install?

    To data log I would need to unplug, or make a Y cable/splitter for the
    serial cable would this work?

    I also plan to go with aem ems in the future. I think this was asked,
    but do you plan on making a cable for that?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Boost limit is 36.3psi.
    Has warning light and tones, color is changeable, and other customizations...

    All for the price of a decent wide band as well.

    I've not heard if anyone other than him has ran it yet, but looks like a winner if it pans out to be true...

    Also, you have to mod the gauge yourself, but not that difficult...

    That LCD built into the tach is pretty cool but not as easy to read at a glance as a bigger more dedicated gauge (although I have been thinking of modding my maft-pro to do an install similar to this). Why not just replace the stock center gauges? It looks stock, and they are in an easy to read location. Unless you need more than 3 gauges, IMHO it's the perfect solution.

    I found it easier to tune my car with a NBO2, haha. The digital output of the WB changes too frequently to be useful real-time.

    Would be nice to be able to change the sample rate on the WB02 to respond less slowly.

    But when tuning with an ARC2, fine tuning and ARC2 dont go hand in hand
