Well I am still waiting on the kit, it should be here Thursday. In the meantime, I went ahead and made some progress and installed my PLX Devices gauges and EVC-S. I am happy with how it looks!

That's what I thought, too. I have the EVC-S as well. And it will, but NOT with the default settings.

The instructions are written by the developers (always a bad idea, instead of the installers), translated from Japanese (the Japanese equivalent of Chinglish), which makes it head-scratchingly obtuse, and there are default settings which will could RUIN your motor, if left alone.

Everything is measured in percentages instead of boost values. Except one crucial setting: Overboost Value. It's set at a default 11.6 lbs. It will rise to this immediately, unless you tame it down. All the other settings are mute in comparison.

OK, so 11.6lbs. That ain't so outrageous.... Untill you find out it's 11.6 lbs OVER wastegate boost pressure. Which is probably 8-9 lbs on its own.

Of course the screen acronym for Overboost Value is : OPT That makes sense....

So this would spike right up to 20 lbs boost. I speak from experience.

So, BIG tip: drop that setting to 1.0 lbs, and use the offset value to raise boost from there.

Your techs can thank me later. Good luck on this. I'm watching.

^^^ Thanks for the heads up! From all the reading I have been doing on various forums, it does seem like the thing is not the most intuitive to setup. I plan on setting everything at the absolute lowest setting I can and working my way up, as you suggested. I will let you know how it works out!

Thanks again for preventing a 20psi+ spike on my first run!

Thanks! I am happy with how it turned out. The gauge is the DM-100, it reads OBD-II data like throttle position, load, etc. I also have the AFR, Vac/Boost, and Oil Pressure sensor units that all daisy chain to the DM-100. I have it setup so I can view a combo of the sensor data and the OBD-II data. The sensors aren't hooked up yet, since I haven't installed the kit. Let me know if you have any questions about it or want any pics of what the gauge can display!
