Well, kinda-sorta not really. I have pics of my Greddy 60mm boost gauge and my HKS Type-O turbo timer but I'm not sure how to post them here. Please let me know how to do this so that I can share these with you. Thanks!
 
you gotta have them hosted first, then just use the

Let me know what you guys think (of the boost gauge and turbo timer, not the pics :))

Looks great, man!

When did you get the boost gauge in, yesterday? When driving, how much of the tach is obscured? I gotta come down and check it out, or you gotta come up here. :)

that's my favoruite Turbo timer and location of where i plan on putting mine. how much did you pay for yours? How's your experience with it?
 
OrangeMSP installed a greddy in his car.. Same location, too. I was actually wanting to put mine in the pocket to the left of the steering wheel, but after seeing his, it looks perfect down there.

His only complaint was that it would increment the time without really checking speed/turbo usage. That means if he left it on and killed the car, the car would still run for about 7-9minutes, even if he only kicked in turbo for a little bitty amount.

Seems to both of us that'd do more damage than good. He "solved" the problem by turning the TT off right before leaving the car so it resets back to 1minute. *shrug* I do remember the TT having a preset mode, so it'll run a preset amount of time regardless of turbo usage. Using that you would be able to set it to run a few minutes, but I won't know for sure until I get my car and get it hooked up.
 
Man, i never knew a turbo timer could run for upwards of 9 minutes! That's just polluting the enviroment.
Anyway, i don't think many us require the TT to actually check how hard we drove before it sets the time. Many of us, can tell how hard or how easy we drove the car, and that way determine how long to set the TT ourselves.
 
Thank you all. I don't have the wire hooked up for the Tach voltage charge, so I'm not using that option on the Turbo timer.

The gauge is great! It doesn't block the Tach that much (where I sit, I cannot see from about the 7,500 mark to the 8,000 mark, but who cares, the car will never rev that high). The lighting is almost perfect, it is just a little more orange then the lights. It works great and is easy to read.

The only thing that worries me now is that I'm not building boost in 1st nor 2nd gear. It bleeds off as soon as I stop stepping on the gas (when I "level-off"), so next mod will have to be a blow off valve so that I can use the power of the turbo better by fooling the wastegate (but that will have to wait until somebody makes a kit for the car).:) :)!!!!
