That's a good spot.
I have my intercooler temp gauge there.
However I'd try to find a spot that's more eye level so you don't have to keep looking down away from the road at your AFRs

I used an innovate to tune my mechanical injected bmw 2002tii. I mounted the gauge permanently on the dash. However even there I found it hard to use at Wot cause- well I was watching the road and the revs are over pretty quick. Ok for low speeds and cruise. Also once I got the car dialed in I never had a reason to look at it again- so I’d recommend a simple temporary instal.

Has anyone noticed any difference in sound with changing injectors? Do any of them tick louder than others?

I don't consider that a legitimate concern when considering new injectors, regardless of whether or not it could be true.

I thought I'd ask If you had this up and running now.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned injector dynamics?

The answer is no. I got a sudden surge of work to close at year end and lost anytime I would have had to prepare for a trip to visit family in Asia.
The hope is when i get back, i will be able to finalize the data logging and send Todd the files for a tune.

1) Still need to install the A/F meter and have a bung welded to the cat's.
2) Need to datalog

I should be done by February hopefully....

Update:
Being March, and my car has not been able to be driven for 1 year.

I recently started a new job which requires all my attention, and i will probably not have time to finish the car up. I have given myself a deadline, but at the rate things are going I most likely will pull the supercharger off.

I learned a lot about the car and how most things are not "Mil Spec" and built to my standards.
I discovered the split second box is junk and that the only true way is a custom tune.

I haven't pulled it off yet, but its close.

In post #52 you mention custom tune by Todd at Protomotive. Why would you even mess around with the split second box?

I sympathize with your time constraints. Since you're busy making $$$ elsewhere pay someone to custom tune it for you. Isn't Steve Wong in your area? Maybe get base tune from Todd and have Steve verify and tweak if necessary.

The plan was to never use the split second box.
i need to find time to add a wideband 02 sensor to data log for Todd.

Steve Wong doesn't want anything to do with this project.
At this point, I will most likely just sell the supercharger.

To tell you the truth, I am close but just don't have time.

I will box it up for the next owner.

Easy way to get AFR is to take your car to a dyno shop and get them to dyno the car for you.
AFR data on the dyno run. Getting AFR is probably the easiest task in the project.
Or
Install a data logging system in your car - which is probably a good idea for a boosted car.
Then hook the logger up to your laptop and go for a run and record the session.

Hey presto - jobs done.

I'm getting the impression there a bit more to the story here, since removal will probably take more work than just getting it running right. But yeah, get it dyno'd and just send the graph to Todd.
