That moment when I drove the car for the first time I was about to cry and say what the shit is this. We connected that I'm not sure exactly if it called DashDyno or DynoDash it should one of these two this machine is like the Vbox that of ppl using. Anyway, I got 73c Temp. Sucked in to the engine which too high and atmosphere Temp. Was 26c. We went home to check whats wrong with the pumps and we found that they were not connected it was wiring issue then temp. Drop from 73c to 48c. I added that octane booster to rise the octane a bit more only for the test and did the test and found there is difference. I'll make a better videos today and new pic's. And I need to buy also boost gauge. To know exactly how much we are exactly running on. I'll make a dyno runs soon with normal fuel which is 95 Octane, I'll buy a race fuel 100 octane unleaded and I'll post the dyno results.
dont worry my friend, you will have moments like this.... this is what happens with these tuned up cars, let me tell you, at one point my supercharger unit failed (fault of my tuner) and i literally felt like giving up and committing suicide, nahhh shit happens.

i MUST advise you to get an incar setup, i went to town on this part and installed imo the best solution possible, which not only looks amazing but is of genuine quality and ADDs to the interior, looks amazing.... check out my video.... wait till the interior shots for the gauge setup, i went with a Proper wideband AFR stack unit with Peak throttle recall and real time monitoring of AFR, LFR, and pretty much every featured related to fuel ratios, very very cool, i went with boost gauge and oil pressure, for you oil pressure is now Probably one of the most important things to monitor as your blower will need a solid oil pressure..... i wont lie, it ran well into the thousands but was well worth it..... i can now see instantly when im lean, or see if boost is low and check my oil pressure real time!! Makes me feel so much better as any FI motor should be monitored properly.........







Note ; i took oil pressure from the stock location for low oil pressure light, i moved the low oil press to the unused rear post and custom made and little distribution block to use the front port, oem look and feel and the best place to take oil pressure from.
