Excellente. I just need to find somewhere discreet for it now. If I had the skill I'd love to install it behind the glass of the rear view mirror so it looks almost OEM.

BTW - for the wideband, how do most people route the wires on the IS? Through the grommets in the firewall, or up somewhere near the seats.?

Very nice matey.:thumbup1:
Only thing is that I'm only going to be running one gauge now, so I wont be needing anything that fancy.

I had contemplated taking an air vent out of action, but I'm not sure.

Sounds like a potential ****?

I'm just trying to work this all out in my head as I've heard that everything ideally need to already be wired in and ready to go when the bung is welded/sensor installed. As running the sensor without it being powered up kinda kills it quick?

the only good thing about the PLX DM-100 is you can custom build the display to what ever you want and show how much boost etc to display with there custom software. and why not just mount it in the pillar then and save all the money on a pod or removing the center vent. cheaper and one is ok there

A-Pillar? Would that be advisable with airbags in there?

yes mate as the piller only pops out about 2" when deployed and the airbag is further up from the lower part of the pillar as you can see here in this pic
