yes of course there is...RTFM.

No, seriously, you don't need to look at ODO and trip to drive around do you? I simply turned those off and replaced with Distance to Empty and Temperature. The large bottom display can be toggled with the stalk.

Congrats and welcome! Nice family - those boys will be talking all about your new turbo at school. Coolest dad in the cul-de-sac.

Congrats and welcome, nice looking turbo!
Is it normal for the oil pressure to be that low? I'm not an expert, so I would double check.

Actually my wife was a decent driver(before kids). She use to own a e46 BMW slicktop wagon with a stick and I got her to take it to a two day track event at Buttonwillow.

Sorry to hear about your little one...hopefully he didn't get TOO sick in the back of the car?

I have 2.5 year old that loves to go for "Por-shuh" rides, but I don't get too aggressive and so far he's been ok riding up on the Skyline, which is very curvy.

I use to own a WRX and had Stage2 Cobb on it. Been fighting the urge for Cobb on my TT. A bit odd their OTS Stage1 map has no details so not motivating me to get it. Seem to need to get a custom tune with them.

And I got the kid out in time and he ended up not barfing anyways.

It was the other one,just hard to get them to stay still for a pic. She encourage me to buy the TT

Seems to move around based on load. When not in gear and under load it runs low. Under load is goes up to 4 or 5 psi which is correct according to the owners manual.

Congrats! Looks like mine . . .

Easy mod #1, ditch the CD trays and put in a shelf . . . Greatest update since it looks like you will have a full car (I have the same). Your wallet and phone have to go somewhere, enjoy! KH

yes that is on my todo list along with AUX input. Trying to decide if I want to also do a hard wired BT adapter to the AUX.

Ordered the Porsche roof transport system to haul my bike and surfboard

Looks fantastic! Congrats!

Once I found out my girlfriend (now wife) was a very competent stick driver, that was a box ticked off in the "keeper" column... (insert double entendre comments here )

thanks

cubby to replace the CD holder. Now I have a place to stick my cell phone, not sure why the PO did not do. Grain and color is not a exact match which is a bit disappointing since OEM but not a deal breaker. Guessing color wise the other plastics have faded a bit over time.




Plan to install the aux cable next. Thinking a USB power socket + aux would be nice, something like this

Amazon.com: USB & 3.5mm AUX extension Flush Mount 2 Meter Cable , 1/8 AUX Car Bike Boat Motercycle Lead By Xtenzi: Car Electronics Amazon.com: USB & 3.5mm AUX extension Flush Mount 2 Meter Cable , 1/8 AUX Car Bike Boat Motercycle Lead By Xtenzi: Car Electronics

Searched around the forum and so far have not found a howto/part to use.
