hey just an idea for ya, i have the same deck scangauge setup, but i drilled a little hole in the back of the pocket and ran the wire through there = no show

in fact...the scangauge wire does pass from behind the pocket and goes under the center console to the obd2 connector. the wire you see is my Aux input wire that goes from my Ipod to my headunit(radio)

it's been a while since i've updated this thread! In the past weeks, I blown my 16T (in fact, I didn't blow it at all! I was only lokking for a reason to change it!) so I had to change my turbo. I was looking for something that will last for the summer since the engine is coming out of the car this winter for a complete rebuild and a bigger turbo. So I pmed Spanky and he sold me a 18T (I had to change my turbo, so why not updrade it for something better!) I installed it on the car last week and it pulls very nice! I can feel a big difference between the 230k km 16T and the freshly rebuilt 18T. The car also went on the dyno on friday for a quick run just to see how much power this T5m is developing. I was very happy with the results, they were a bit over what I was expecting so that's always fun!

some pictures of the turbo and the car on the dyno:













before you ask, the car made 270whp on the dyno. I'll post dyno-sheet as soon as the guys send them to me!

You answered the two questions I was wondering as I looked over your sig and saw the photos of your car on the dyno in your photo album. I kept asking myself, wait, he did all these mods and he doesn't mention the turbo, surely he's running something bigger than stock given the other bolt ons he's added. Hot car - very nice build. Looking forward to hearing about the future plans for this Winter.

Love the wheels, Nebulas FTW! Do you run into issues with rubbing on the liners? Curious because I'm contemplating putting 18's on my S70.

OP, car looks good. There is something to be said about having a FMIC showing in the bumper.

I dig it. I really like the tent you have. Since I don't have a garage I need something like that.

Wouldnt recommend it for the winter. Had one fall on my friends car after some snow and rain. Did quite a bit of damage too.
