Here's one on my previous NA:

There are no turbo-specific gauges. Anything that's useful on a turbo is just as useful on an NA.

And before anyone says "what about a boost gauge", a boost gauge is just a vac gauge with a bigger scale. It's measuring exactly the same thing, i.e. manifold pressure.

Old turbos, both OEM (like my 12AT) and aftermarket, are not water-cooled. You can still buy some of them new, but they are old designs.

Some velcro (i suck at spelling) and Nylocks and your set. It's a pain in the *** with both my TT and EBC there though...When I took my car down to the track my knee would bump em when I'm shifting hard cuz i pull my foot off the clutch fast. (Sorry I'm tired and this is the best description I can give.
-Also you can't really see em if your a cop that just pulled me over

yeah don't be a dumbass and mount it on the dash. Its not worth having a ricer breakin to your car to steal it and it not having a purpose. Because honda kids love useless **** like this.

why not put your EBC or TT on the other side of the dash like i have in my car to help out with not hitting your knee on them. also a bnr stage 4 turbo is water cooled right? since its the stock turbo rebuilt with better parts so you dont need a TT for it

Yes, the BNR stage IV is water-cooled. But the main reason RX-7 people get TTs is just because they're cool

so let me just get this straight real quick. Our cars don't need turbo timers however if we where to run it hard right before we shut it down it still would be bad??? So Why don't we need turbo timers again??? Sorry just had one that came with the car when I got it a long time ago and never took it out.



ps I know mine looks nasty but it's where no one can see it so I don't mind.

Only reason I have a TT is cuz the owner had them on the car when I bought em And if the stock turbo has lasted all 152k miles on it and still pushes 15psi...he had to have done something right :bigthumbsup:

I'll try to post one of mine tonight. I have it mounted fairly high up, but it's still pretty clean.
