Thats when you put it over into tiptronic or whatever the thingy is called. it does the job... not! i dont even consider my m3 a powerhouse. driving something thats 414 horse and a 500 horse v10 makes you just want to **** in your pants. but the car with the most power i have ever driven... a jeep. the grand cherokee srt8. the thing is a monster! when i drove it it was pushing 700 horsepower! such a rush to drive!

Update: So today I got my Hitachi E coil packs. I popped those it and then went out to beat the **** out of the car to see if any codes would pop up.. One did. I pulled over right away and hooked up the computer to read the codes. Again I am getting turbo underboost.. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I have not read this whole thread, but have you hooked up a boost gauge?

You can get one to temporarily hook up just to check it. Or you could go the other route and install a permanent one.

I like the Podi idea, but I don't want to block my center console. I think the vent gauge is a classy look, I'm just worried about the possibility of the plastic being "a little off", you know when the tint is jusssst not quite right. Anyone have one/recommend one?

you can get a (low quality) Podi ripoff here (which is why I am hesitant about the vent gauge housing not matching either, I have heard bad about the steering column mount on that page, also it doesn't fit perfect)

Podi is available here:

The actual gauge that goes in it can be of your choice, which is why they sell the housing seperately:

The Stewart Warner package is what I want, it matches the onterior perfect in my opinion:

Again, not a fan of blocking my gauge cluster, so I'm torn.

Let me know how the colors match up. Do you have the black lower interior?
