Finished up the Can Bus gauges and some ECU wiring updates just in time to put it away for winter. Posting it here because it’s a turbo 968!!
Big knob is boost control via ECU (link). 9 to 22 psi

If anybody wants the perfect starting file for a front panel design just let me know. It fits so well you don’t even need screws! It does have the crew holes!

I always wondered about the Banks Turbo gauges.

You motivated me to order them when I am ready….last on the list.

I installed a Banks setup on a 97 F350 dually.

Fantastic kit for the price. Hot housing and chip…no intercooler. Too bad they don’t make 944 turbo stuff.

Super heavy ass work truck with steel flat deck 100+ gallon steel diesel tank and tools for working on heavy equipment.
Truck used to have to drop to third gear on a particular big hill. After kit install we could pull the hill in 5th gear with only moderate throttle.

The iDash gauges work well with the Link G4+ ecus. Lots of data to choose from and layouts with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 channels to display at the same time. Selectable colors and warnings. Also a updates quickly (a lot of OBD stuff refreshes way too slowly). One quirk for link is that the gauge has to power on before the ECU. Not a big deal to set up as long as you know!

This is pretty late for us, my local ski area (10 miles away) used to open beginning of December. One slope barely open for Christmas this year.
Just for fun I once played with the stand-alone tuning to get a good cold start for 0f!

Yeah, but we are making more power in the cold dense air!
