Since you live in CR...

Bob Kurgan is coming to Ankeny at Karl Performance to tune cars in Oct. He lives in Georgia.

There are still a few open spots. Bob is an outstanding tuner. Karl's dyno & shop is as nice as any place in the country. 60,000 sq ft custom shop with a superflow dyno. The shop is nearly is clean as your car.

Bob tuned my terminator last spring. It put down 480/504.

PM me if you want more details. He tuned about 15 cars the last time he was here in the spring.

Picture of my cobra on the dyno last spring.

I heard about kurgan! And yes sounds like he's going to be there in Des Moines. But I thought all slots were full? And also how much is it to tune??? I might be majorly broke after this purchase lol.

Also guys, the kit doesn't come with a boost gauge.. At least I don't think so. Since I already have the sound tube out, there's an opening in the firewall. Should I go ahead and get a roush boost gauge? How easy is it to install?

Looks like mine as well. My car will NEVER be driven in rain as well.

Consider an Aeroforce Interceptor. You can read a heck of a lot more than just boost.

Sean thanks for info. What I like about the roush gauge is that it fits in the driver side air vent. Does this interceptor work similarly? I'm assuming I have to tap in to power somewhere eh?

I have a new never installed Roush gage pod for sale, if interested sell it to you for $22.50 shipped. Only thing is I could not ship until Saturday via FedEx.

The Interceptor plugs into the OBD port

This is a horrible picture but it is the only I had showing the gauges. The three on top are autometer elite gauges in an SOS pod.

The bottom one is an Aeroforce interceptor. It can read multiple parameters and scroll them or you can select two that are always on.

You could select boost and A/F ratio. And yes it is fit in a Roush vent pod gauge holder. You can also select different colors of background and numbers like Blue.

Doh! I should have known that. How could I forget that you have the cleanest Kona Mustang in existence? That other pic threw me off...

I'll take the gauge pod, brother. So I just need to decide which meter to get right? The aero force sounds great but it's steep at 200+ bucks

Will pm you info about the gauge pod sale. Thank you sir.

Sean, looks awesome... But dang that's an expensive meter! However it literally plugs into obd? No need for power or vacuum lines???

^ edit... I might go for this single aero force gauge regardless. It sounds like the install is painless. Sean, will it monitor my. Magnuson boost levels with no issues? Sounds like it just monitors vacuum pressure in the manifold chamber? That's how it knows?

Here's a nifty little OBDII plug in gauge that will read boost as well as having 77 other possible gauges!

Thanks guys. I find it hard to sleep at night lately... Lol. I wonder why that is. Shiaz, with the little I know about you, I can tell you're a major car guy just like me. I think you also won't be satisfied until you get a blower on your car as well . I've been lurking, waiting, crying, wanting, you name it, for years, always wondering what it would be like to return to owning a FI'd car. The last taste I had was owning a 93 twin turbo rx7. The hunger has always been there since. Then last year, I test drove a new Shelby, and the hunger was once again made worse.... It will get worse my friend... Until you feed the need
