Da91NX 07-19-2002, 09:53 AM Seeing how we got the picture there, does anyone know what that button all the way to the right, that is under the radio is for. I know the first three, but that last has puzzled me for a while now.
LowDownNX 07-19-2002, 10:31 AM in front of the air ducts ey??? you can keep your gauges cool(better for read out performance) :) lol
Loe Lyf 07-19-2002, 12:24 PM The last button is for my factory foglight switch on my '93, but the 1st on is blank on mine ( My LED for my alarm is there)

Loe Lyf 07-22-2002, 11:29 PM Did you hook up your boost gauge to just read vacuum?
no its not hooked up at all i didnt have a tee fitting to hook it up to the vacume gallery
coach 07-23-2002, 01:53 PM NICK:
Can you tell me where you hooked the oil catch to and how exactly it works? I am interested in that.

LowDownNX 07-23-2002, 02:05 PM Nick it looks great

well the catch can just collects all the oil that comes from the vent line from the driver side of the valve cover and go's in to the intake pipe. that would get burnt in the engine or collected on the throttle body plate. so hopefully this will stop that gunk that every one loves to hate to clean off. and i wanted it for my turbo i dont think it would like sucking in a bunch of oil.
all it is, is a piece of pipe with the ends welded shut with some plate. i stuffed a bunch of steal wool in there to help it filter the vapors a bit. there is a drain on the bottom and a in and out tapping for the hose's as you can see, that all it is.
