    Beer has some pics of his under his engine bay. I'll look and see if I can't find them for you. Do some scans, post up some logs, we'll guide you in the right direction.

    If your willing to put in the time, and ask when you need help, its fairly easy.



    Above, LC-1 input and Nitrous Bottle Pressure input to V2, gonna be adding Relay Status Inputs for each stage of Nitrous.



    First Location...Did not like so much.


    Second Location...
    better but still an eyesore...


    Its final home once I added headers and had the torque tube cover off.


    You can barely make it out upper right.

    If your looking not to have a pillar pod, I can make ya one of these for a hidden gauge

    Kurt, welcome to the forum.

    There's a learning curve, but you should be able to master it no problem, and as Beer said don't be afraid to ask questions.

    Our forum members are knowledgeable and are always willing to help with any questions.

    You may want read the AutoVE tutorial as this shows the relationships between some tables and how the wideband is used for tuning:

    The Black wire is the Wideband input (0-5V, on the LC-1 it is connected to the yellow or brown wire as needed, in my case the yellow goes to my Gauge, the brown goes to the V2). The purple wire is my Nitrous Bottle Pressure input.

    The scanner is the interface to the laptop.
