Brilliant work JVR! What would those go for, how difficult is it to install and how does it connect to the ECU?

Thanks dude :wink:

I'll have a final cost once its done, but it uses its own sensors, so no splicing into the factory wires are needed

So you still need to tap into the boost pipe somewhere?
